1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 benign osteoblastic tumor characterized mostly by presence of one nidus, butvery infrequentlyniduses can be multiple. Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established treatment method for this disease. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient with bifocal osteoid osteoma which was partially missed on the initial magnetic resonance imaging and treated successfully with two sessions of radiofrequency ablation. Following the second session of ablation, the pain resolved immediately and the patient remains pain-free for 6 months since the procedure. Our case report underlines the fact that although very rare, multifocal osteoid osteomas do exist and its niduses can be obscured during the magnetic resonance imaging due to the edema. It emphasizes the role of the initial computed tomography evaluation.
