Clear cell chondrosarcoma of proximal femur: a rare entity with diagnostic dilemma.
Article in BMJ 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
Clear cell chondrosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm. The rarity and slow-growing nature of this tumour often lead to prolonged symptoms and also initial misdiagnosis with benign lesions such as chondroblastoma. It can also be confused with avascular necrosis of the femoral head when the lesion is located in the femoral head, as was in the case we report. The patient was kept on observation and conservative treatment for almost 9 years before the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Wide local resection with negative margins forms the mainstay of treatment since intralesional procedures predispose to high local recurrence rate. A prolonged follow-up is recommended since late local recurrences and metastases are common.
