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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical management of an osteoblastoma involving the entire C2 vertebra. MATERIALS AND

methodsA 14-year-old girl presented with unbearable neck pain. Her medical history was unremarkable. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed lytic and osteoblastic bone lesions involving the entire C2 vertebra. The tumor was resected in two stages with vertebral artery mobilization. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoblastoma. The pain resolved postoperatively, and the patient had no further complaints. Sufficient fusion formation and no tumor recurrence with no complaints were seen in postoperatively 4 years.

conclusionMarginal resection remains the best treatment for osteoblastoma of the spine. If tumor tissue surrounds the vertebral artery, the vertebral artery should be mobilized and the surrounding tumor mass excised.
