Osteosarcoma in One of Identical Twins: Three Cases Report and a Literature Review.
Review in Orthopaedic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor occurring mainly in children and young adults. OS is usually seen in sporadic cases, and it is an extremely rare phenomenon in blood relatives, particularly among identical twins. CASE PRESENTATION: The present study reports three cases of OS occurring in only one of identical twins. The first case is a high-grade OS in the left proximal tibia of a 16-year-old girl, treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, en bloc resection, and reconstruction with a modular knee tumor prosthesis. The second one is a high-grade OS of the left proximal tibia of a 6-year-old girl. The patient was treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, en bloc resection, and reconstruction with inactived autograft. The third one is a conventional OS of the right proximal tibia of a 20-year-old woman. She was treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, en bloc resection, and reconstruction with a custom-made prosthesis.
conclusionsThe occurrence of OS in one of identical twins is a relatively rare event but may present the best opportunity to understand the genetic mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis and progression of this disease in humans. A longer follow-up period and regular imaging evaluation are needed to confirm whether the identical twin of these patients will suffer OS in the future.
