Pediatric physeal fractures and growth disturbance: current concepts and surgical approaches.
Review in World journal of pediatric surgery, 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
Physeal fractures account for a significant percentage of pediatric fractures and carry a unique risk of resultant limb deformity due to their potential to disrupt normal bone growth. While most of these fractures heal without consequence, up to 10% result in growth disturbances that can cause limb length discrepancy or angular deformity. Surgical strategies for managing these deformities include physeal bar excision, epiphysiodesis, and corrective osteotomies. These interventions aim to restore limb alignment and preserve function. In this review, we provide an overview of the growth plate physiology, classification systems for physeal fractures, and the spectrum of complications that may arise following growth plate injury. We also present an overview of surgical strategies and demonstrate their applications through several case examples.
