Primary Bone Tumors of the Skull: Spectrum of 125 Cases, with Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery. Part B, Skull base, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimsPrimary skull bone tumors, benign or malignant, are rare, and include a vast repertoire of lesions. These tumors are not reported systematically in the literature, with most studies being on individual entities or as single case reports.
methodsPrimary bone tumors diagnosed over a period of 12 years were retrieved, histological diagnoses reviewed, and clinical parameters noted.
resultsWe identified 125 primary skull bone tumors. The mean age at diagnosis was 32 years (range: 2-65 years). Majority of patients were adults (82.4%); male preponderance was noted (72.8%). Malignant tumors were more frequent than benign tumors. Most common malignant tumor was chordoma (n = 37), while most common benign tumor was osteoma (n = 7). Tumors were most frequently located at the skull base, of which clivus was most common location. Chordomas accounted for majority of clival tumors, while chondrosarcoma predominated at other skull base locations. Benign tumors were extremely rare in skull base. Tumors of the vault bones were infrequent; with chondrosarcoma and osteoma being the most common malignant and benign tumors, respectively.
conclusionsThis is the largest series of primary skull bone tumors from India. Documentation of such a series will aid in approaching differential diagnosis of skull tumors in a systematic manner.
