Fibrous dysplasia of the clivus - A case study and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign, congenital skeletal disorder which leads to the formation of fibro-osseous intramedullary bone lesions. Clival fibrous dysplasia is a rare variant which commonly presents asymptomatically with no findings on examination and is often picked up incidentally on radiological investigation. A 39-year-old female presented with a sudden onset headache of 3 days' duration alongside diplopia and right lower limb weakness upon examination. Computerized tomography head scan revealed an expansile clivus with a ground-glass appearance, magnetic resonance imaging brain scan revealed a predominantly hypointense signal on T1- and T2-weighted images and subsequent whole-body bone imaging confirmed the diagnosis of monostotic clival fibrous dysplasia. This case highlights the importance of considering monostotic clival fibrous dysplasia as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with sudden onset symptoms of headache alongside cranial and peripheral nerve involvement, when other more sinister causes have been excluded.
