Osteoblastoma: When the Treatment Is Not Minimally Invasive, an Overview.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundosteoblastoma is a bone-forming tumor accounting for about 1% of all primary bone tumors and 3% of benign bone tumors. The gold-standard treatment is surgical excision; nevertheless, minimally invasive radiological techniques such as thermoablation and, more recently, high intensity focused ultrasound are gaining more importance. The aim of the present paper is to analyze surgical indications based on our experience and on the evidences in the literature.
methodsall patients affected by osteoblastoma who underwent surgical excision in January 2009 and December 2018 were reviewed; eleven patients were enrolled in the study. The epidemiological aspects, size of the disease and site of onset, symptoms, surgery type, indications, and results are reported for every case.
resultsall treatments were based on a preoperative diagnosis; pain was constant in all cases. Intralesional surgeries were performed in 9 out of 11 cases; the remaining 2 cases underwent wide resection. No early or late complications occurred after the surgical procedure. The indications for surgery were lesions very close to nerves or joints, unclear diagnosis, risk of fracture, lesion too large for radiofrequency thermoablation, or failure of minimally invasive treatments. At a medium follow-up of 88 months, no local recurrences were verified.
conclusionsosteoblastoma is a rare tumor with difficult diagnosis. Identification is based on symptoms, imaging, and histology. When possible, minimally invasive techniques is preferred for treatment but surgery is still considered the gold standard.
