Giant Cell Tumor Bone in an Elderly Male- an Unusual Case Misdiagnosed on MRI as a Malignant Sarcoma.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is a benign locally aggressive neoplasm which accounts for 3-8 % of all primary bone tumors. 60-70 % of the patients with giant cell tumor of the bone occur in the age group of 20-40 years. Patients older than 55 years of age very rarely develop GCT. Although many case series have been published on giant cell tumor of the bone, even on extensive search of literature, we found only a single series of 10 cases focusing exclusively on giant cell tumors in elderly. They observed that there was no difference in behavior of GCT in elderly and younger patients in terms of location of tumor, radiographic features and clinical course. We present a case of GCT of tibia in an elderly male without any evidence of malignant transformation or dedifferentiation, despite magnetic resonance imaging revealing features of a malignant lesion.
