[Radiological aspects in the diagnostics of pathological fractures].
Review in Der Unfallchirurg, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Radiological diagnostics play a key role in the identification and assessment of pathological fractures. Conventional projection radiography is still the mainstay of imaging investigations. With knowledge of the patient history, the morphology and location of a fracture as well as concomitant findings, such as osteolysis or periosteal reactions can add valuable information on the origin of the fracture. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice for the local diagnostic work-up as it provides insights into the medullary cavity and visualizes potential extraosseous tumor tissue in the fracture zone. Computed tomography (CT) imaging provides valuable information on the morphological features of fractures and is useful for the planning of the surgical approach. Furthermore, it is the modality of choice for whole-body staging. In most cases of pathological fractures without a history of malignancy, a biopsy and histological work-up is recommended.
