CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma: established concepts and new ideas.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Osteoid osteoma is a painful benign bone tumour of children and young adults with characteristic clinico-radiological features depending upon the location of the lesion. Intraoperative visualisation of the nidus is difficult and therefore curative surgery is often associated with excessive bone removal, significant perioperative morbidity and potential need of bone grafting procedures. With advancement in cross-sectional imaging and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) technology, CT-guided RFA has emerged as the treatment of choice for the osteoid osteoma. This procedure involves accurate cannulation of the nidus and subsequent thermocoagulation-induced necrosis.Multidisciplinary management approach is the standard of care for patients with osteoid osteoma. Appropriate patient selection, identification of imaging pitfalls, pre-anaesthetic evaluation and a protocol-based interventional approach are the cornerstone for a favourable outcome. Comprehensive patient preparation with proper patient position and insulation is important to prevent complications. Use of spinal needle-guided placement of introducer needle, namely, "rail-road technique" is associated with fewer needle trajectory modifications, reduced radiation dose and patient morbidity and less intervention time. Certain other procedural modifications are employed in special situations, for example, intra-articular osteoid osteoma and osteoid osteoma of the subcutaneous bone in order to reduce complications. Treatment follow-up generally includes radiographic assessment and evaluation of pain score. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI has been recently found useful for demonstrating post-RFA healing.
