1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bone tumors are very rare and this is the reason why frozen section diagnosis is often difficult. The orthopedic surgeon wants to know the intraoperative diagnosis of biopsies of benign or malignant bone tumors so that definitive treatment can be carried out immediately in cases of diagnostic certainty. Diagnostic problems not only concern the distinction of benign and malignant tumors but also differentiation of a neoplastic from a reactive process. Clinical information is very important and all patients with bone tumors are discussed before surgical treatment in an interdisciplinary tumor board. Internationally but with the exception of the USA, the diagnostic procedure using frozen sections is not commonly used even in specialized centers.
