Recent Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Pediatric Orthopedic Disorders: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pediatric orthopedic disorders, spanning congenital, developmental, traumatic, infectious, and neoplastic conditions, are a major source of preventable disability worldwide. Despite notable advances over the past decade, progress in diagnostic precision, surgical innovation, and regenerative therapy development often remains compartmentalized within subspecialties, limiting the translation of innovations across the field. This review aims to summarize recent advances in pediatric orthopedic diagnosis and treatment, assess emerging technologies such as AI-assisted imaging and regenerative medicine, and highlight key challenges and evidence gaps to guide future practice. A structured literature search was conducted across major biomedical databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify studies focused on pediatric populations, emphasizing multicenter cohorts and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) when available. Key advances include radiation-sparing diagnostic tools such as artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted ultrasonography, low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI); minimally invasive, growth-preserving interventions like guided growth, bioabsorbable fixation, and patient-specific three-dimensional (3D)-printed implants; and biologic augmentation approaches using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and scaffold-based regeneration. While these innovations enhance diagnostic precision, reduce morbidity, and preserve skeletal potential, most are underpinned by Level II/III evidence and face barriers related to cost, access, and resource availability. By integrating cross-disciplinary progress and identifying transferable strategies, this review offers clinicians, researchers, and policymakers an actionable roadmap to align technological innovation with robust evidence generation and equitable delivery, ensuring sustainable improvements in musculoskeletal health for children globally.
