Non-ossifying Fibroma Pathological Fracture in a Patient With Lactose Intolerance.
Article in Cureus, 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
Non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is a frequently occurring benign tumor of children and adolescents. In the long bones, it appears as an eccentric, expanded lesion in the metaphyseal diaphyseal area. Most cases are asymptomatic and resolve at a later age while others might become symptomatic and have a high risk of fracture. We present a case of a 15-year-old boy who is known to have lactose intolerance, suffered a pathological fracture following trauma, and was diagnosed with non-ossifying fibroma of the proximal tibia. The etiology of these lesions is not well-known. However, there might be a relation between tendons and NOF. This reported case of NOF is in the proximal tibia, which is a common site of the lesion beside the distal femur. Our reported case was treated by open curettage and grafting, which is the recommended classical treatment. On follow-up, full union was achieved without complications.
