Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the cervical spine: case report and review of the literature.
Article in BJR case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon, benign, but locally aggressive lesion characterized most commonly by synovial proliferation of the appendicular large joints, but occasionally involving a bursa or the tendon sheath. PVNS of the spine is rare, typically involving the posterior elements. The lytic radiographic appearance and fludeoxyglucose avidity of PVNS may mimic malignant bone lesions, including metastatic disease or myeloma. On
