Non-traumatic complications of a solitary rib osteochondroma; an unusual cause of hemoptysis and pneumothorax.
Article in BJR case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteochondromas are a very common and usually asymptomatic entity which may originate anywhere in the appendicular and axial skeleton. However, the ribs are a rare site of origin and here they may prove symptomatic for mechanical reasons. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of a symptomatic osteochondroma of the rib secondary to its location and unique shape, ultimately requiring surgical intervention.
