What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, also known as Trevor's disease, is a rare developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric epiphyseal osteochondral overgrowth, most commonly affecting the ankle or knee in pediatric patients. Surgical excision is typically indicated when lesions cause deformity, mechanical symptoms, or functional limitation, although recurrence has been reported. We present the case of a three-year-old male with dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica of the ankle who experienced two recurrences over a five-year period despite apparently complete surgical excision confirmed intraoperatively. The patient ultimately required three operative procedures due to progressive gait disturbance, stiffness, and pain with ambulation. This case demonstrates the potential for repeated recurrence in skeletally immature patients and highlights the importance of symptom-guided management and long-term surveillance in pediatric patients with dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica.
