Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Spinal Osteoid Osteomas Using a Targeted Navigational Bipolar Electrode System.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Safe and effective percutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of spinal osteoid osteomas can be performed using a targeted navigational bipolar electrode system. Articulating bipolar electrodes with built-in thermocouples along an electrode shaft and variable generator wattage settings allow optimal nidus access, particularly in challenging locations; provide precise real-time monitoring of ablation zone volume and geometry; and minimize the risk of undesired thermal injury.
