Lower Extremity Torsional Deformity as an Overlooked Cause of Gait Dysfunction: A Case Report.
Article in JBJS case connector, 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
caseA 15-year-old girl presented with significant right anterior knee pain and a varus-hyperextension gait pattern mimicking knee subluxation. Computed tomography (CT) revealed 44° of femoral anteversion and 35° of external tibial torsion. Magnetic resonance imaging and X-rays failed to demonstrate any abnormalities. Clinical examination supported by CT, EOS, and 3-dimensional gait analysis revealed axial malalignment. Femoral and tibial torsional osteotomies normalized gait, and clinical scores improved.
conclusionThis case highlights how torsional malalignment can produce dynamic sagittal and coronal gait dysfunction. Rotational correction resolved symptoms, emphasizing the need to include torsion assessment in patients with unexplained knee pain and gait dysfunction.
