Aggressive osteoblastoma of the acetabulum: A diagnostic dilemma.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 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
Osteoblastoma is a rare tumor and represents about 0.8% of all bone tumors. The aggressive variant is even rarer and difficult to diagnose. We present a case of a 17 year old male with a tumor of the acetabulum with characteristic epithelioid osteoblasts and other features of an aggressive osteoblastoma. It is important to recognize this entity as it can be clinically confused with an osteosarcoma. Our case not only showed epithelioid morphology but also had vacuolated cytoplasm, which simulated a mucin secreting adenocarcinoma. Since treatment and prognosis for these entities is strikingly different, an accurate diagnosis becomes all the more important. This case emphasizes the need for better co-ordination between the clinician and pathologist and use of histochemical stains and immunohistochemistry apart from routine histopathology for arriving at a final diagnosis. It is essential to have a close follow-up of the patient to look for recurrence of the tumor.
