Recurrent dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This paper presents a case of Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica that recurred 3 months following the initial surgical intervention. The recurrence was notably characterized by increased pain, limping, and significant ankle stiffness compared to the initial presentation. Histopathological analysis of the recurrence revealed immature fibrocartilaginous tissue, nodular proliferation of collagenous fibrous tissue, and cartilage fragments, accompanied by a foreign-body granulomatous reaction. A review of the literature suggests that recurrence of this condition is closely linked to incomplete surgical excision and the patient's age. Based on these insights, we propose a postoperative follow-up protocol to mitigate the risk of recurrence.
