Accelerated Conservative Management of Severe Congenital Knee Hyperextension in a Low-Resource Setting: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Congenital knee hyperextension (CKH), or congenital genu recurvatum, is a rare orthopedic anomaly in neonates that requires prompt intervention to prevent long-term disability. This case report presents the successful non-surgical management of a one-day-old female neonate presenting with severe unilateral CKH (Leveuf Type I/II) in a resource-limited setting. The novelty of this case lies in the application of an accelerated, two-stage serial casting protocol spanning just 14 days, followed by targeted physiotherapy. This approach resulted in the complete resolution of the deformity and full functional recovery within three weeks. Clinical follow-up at 3 months confirmed durable joint stability and age-appropriate motor development. This case highlights the efficacy of early, tailored conservative intervention, offering a cost-effective alternative to surgical management or prolonged orthotic therapy in settings where advanced orthopedic resources are scarce.
