Review in Der Radiologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
clinical issueFoot and ankle tumours are rare. Part I of this paper provides a survey about tumour distribution regarding age and location of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumours. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL
methodsAll diagnostic radiological procedures are used for the diagnostic work-up of pedal tumours, in particular plain radiography, MRI, and ultrasonography. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: Dual-energy CT proves to be a valuable (differential) diagnostic tool in identifying urate dihydrate crystals. PERFORMANCE: There are no reliable numbers available on accuracy of the aforementioned diagnostic procedures regarding tumour detection and identification. This is particularly true for soft tissue tumours which are small and well-defined, thus requiring histological clarification. ACHIEVEMENTS: To evaluate pedal tumours correctly and reasonably, a full range of radiological diagnostics should be employed. Neither plain radiography alone nor a stand-alone MRI examination-depending on the tumour site-are sufficient to characterize such tumours including staging. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Plain radiography remains the first-choice imaging modality. Ultrasonography is superior to reliably detect and identify ganglion cysts. MRI, however, continues to remain the upmost diagnostic modality of choice for evaluating foot and ankle tumours. CT possesses unchallanged diagnostic power to assess osseous changes. Bone scintigraphy (including SPECT-CT) and FDG-PET imaging are used when multifocal distribution or metastatic disease are suspected or to detect avidity of the pedal lesions, respectively.
