1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Juvenile hallux valgus is typically managed conservatively; however, surgery is indicated in symptomatic cases refractory to non-operative treatment. Herein, we report the case of a 17-year-old girl with juvenile hallux valgus who did not respond to orthotic management. After confirming physeal closure, a modified Mitchell osteotomy was performed. Postoperatively, the hallux valgus angle improved from 38° to 18°. Self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire scores revealed marked improvement, and the correction was maintained without major complications at 12 months postoperatively. The modified Mitchell osteotomy may be an effective treatment option for juvenile hallux valgus in skeletally mature adolescents.
