Application of Ultrasonographic Evaluation in Conservative Treatment for Femoral Fracture During Cesarean Section: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 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
The incidence of neonatal femoral fractures during delivery is extremely rare, and cesarean section further decreases this risk. These fractures usually have favorable prognoses due to strong callus formation and natural remodeling. However, no standardized treatment protocol exists. Conservative management with the Pavlik harness has yielded positive results. Although plain radiography is typically used to monitor healing, neonates are susceptible to radiation exposure. Ultrasonography has been suggested as a radiation-free alternative for evaluating callus formation. This study presents a case of a neonatal femoral fracture treated conservatively with the Pavlik harness, monitored with plain radiography and ultrasonography. In this case, ultrasonography was able to visualize callus formation and deformity correction in a manner similar to radiography. This indicates the potential for ultrasonography to contribute to reduce the need for repeated radiographs and may thereby reduce radiation exposure in neonates.
