Osteochondromas of the cervical spine-case series and review.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. 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
objectiveCervical spine osteochondromas are rare with approximately 3% of solitary and 7-9% of hereditary osteochondromas occurring in the spine. Almost 50% of spinal osteochondromas occur in the cervical region.
methodsA search of osteochondroma of cervical spine was performed of our radiology database.
resultsIn this study, we present 11 cases of adult cervical spine osteochondromas. These predominantly involved the posterior elements. The cartilage cap was more than 2 cm in 2 cases. There was cord compression in 1 case, foraminal narrowing in 2 patients and vertebral artery compression in 1 case. 6 patients underwent excision with majority being osteochondroma. There was only one case of chondrosarcoma.
conclusionOsteochondromas of cervical spine and extremely rare and symptomatology are due to mass effect. One should be aware of this entitly when analysing cervical spine for neck pain or lump.
