Diagnostic Challenges in Chondroblastic Maxillary Osteosarcoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
The diagnosis of craniofacial osteosarcoma can be quite challenging, and the condition often goes unrecognized for a considerable period of time. In this report, we discuss the case of a 21-year old woman who presented with a one-year history of a small swelling over the left maxillary alveolar ridge. Upon further investigation, the histopathological examination showed high-grade chondroblastic osteosarcoma. The option of four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen preoperatively was chosen, and left inferior maxillectomy was performed along with reconstruction with obturator prosthesis. This case highlights the difficulties encountered in such rare cases of craniofacial osteosarcomas both in terms of the delay in the establishment of the diagnosis as well as management protocol. A high index of suspicion is required in cases of craniofacial osteosarcoma and early surgical resection with adequate safety margins is warranted.
