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

We report a case of recurrence of enchondroma in a middle finger after curettage and back-filling with calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC). The radiograph showed a lytic lesion around the CPC filling which showed no signs of absorption after 12 years. The tumor was curated easily, however, a steel bar was needed to remove the CPC mass in a carefully manner not to break the cortex. CPC has an advantage of immediate biomechanical stability, on the other hand, a disadvantage of being unabsorbed inside of bone. Although enchondroma has a low recurrence rate after surgery generally, in consideration of recurrence, we recommend the use of absorbable materials when a use of artificial bone substitute to fill the defect is planned.
