A giant cell tumor of the bone in the rib cage left to proliferate unfettered for seven years to an extensive size.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Giant cell tumors of the bone are generally benign tumors of the bone, though they can be locally invasive in nature. They are also known as "osteoclastomas," and patients are typically between 20 and 40 years of age, who present with pain and swelling of the joints. Though the tumor is benign, malignant degeneration, metastasis, and other complications of tumor growth are possible. Here we present a case where a delay in treatment led to a significant tumor burden. This tumor's unique location in the anterior arc of the rib, as well as its growth to a size that has rarely been reported, ultimately caused major compressive effects that significantly impacted our patient's quality of life.
