Macrodactyly of the Foot in a Newborn: A Case Report and Four-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionMacrodactyly is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements in one or more digits of the hands or feet. Although diagnosis typically occurs at birth, prenatal detection via ultrasound has been reported. The condition imposes a significant psychological burden on children and their families. Pediatricians are often the first clinicians to inform and counsel anxious parents; accurate recognition of this malformation and clear communication regarding the multidisciplinary approach, clinical evolution, and overall prognosis are therefore essential. CASE PRESENTATION: A full-term female neonate presented at birth with an isolated enlargement of the second and third digits of the left foot. There were no other abnormalities. A family history of a structural hand anomaly in the maternal grandmother was noted. After 4.5 years of follow-up, the asymmetry progressively accentuated, consistent with the progressive type of macrodactyly.
conclusionsMacrodactyly requires early recognition and long-term multidisciplinary management involving pediatricians, orthopedists, geneticists, physiatrists, and surgeons. Surgical intervention is typically inevitable, and maintaining realistic expectations is crucial. Despite the challenges, the overall prognosis is favorable, with no adverse effects on systemic growth or neurodevelopment.
