Femur Neck Osteoid Osteoma Managed with Radiofrequency Ablation - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
introductionOsteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of bones involving mainly the tubular bones and rarely axial skeletons. The patient mainly complains of night pain in the affected region or the joint nearby. Pain always subsides with analgesics and gradually increased over the period of time. It is mostly missed on the plain radiograph so magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (CT) scan are preferred for accurate and early diagnosis of the tumor. CASE REPORT: A 20-year-old male presented with pain in the left hip region which was gradually increased over the period of 6 months and was experiencing pain more in the night, used to relieve on medications. CT scan of the left hip showed the presence of osteoid osteoma of 0.5 cm diameter, which was managed with radiofrequency ablation. Moreover, the patient had pain relief immediately after the procedure. At present 1-year follow-up, the patient is symptomless with no recurrence.
conclusionThe neck of femur osteoid osteomas is best managed with radiofrequency ablation as it causes less morbidity to the patient and helps in early return to normal activities with fewer complications as compared to open procedures.
