Conservative Management of Late-Onset Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease in a 10-Year-Old Child: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2025. 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
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a childhood condition characterized by avascular necrosis of the femoral head, with a poorer prognosis in children over 8 years. This case report describes a 10-year-old boy presenting with persistent left thigh pain, limp, and limited hip motion following a fall 3 months earlier. Imaging revealed osteonecrosis of the left femoral head with degenerative changes. Despite surgical intervention being the standard for late-onset LCPD, the patient was managed conservatively using bilateral skin traction and a Petrie's cast due to financial constraints. Follow-up monthly for 6 months showed significant improvement, highlighting conservative treatment's potential in resource-limited settings.
