1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo determine whether MRI can distinguish atypical cartilaginous tumour/grade 1 peripheral/periosteal chondrosarcoma (ACT/Gd1 PP-CS) from high-grade peripheral/periosteal chondrosarcoma (HG-PP-CS) or dedifferentiated peripheral/periosteal chondrosarcoma (DD-PP-CS). MATERIALS AND

methodsRetrospective review of patients diagnosed between January 2007 and December 2020 who had undergone resection of PP-CS. Data collected included age, sex, and skeletal location. Histological tumour grades based on surgical resection were classified as ACT/grade 1 PP-CS, HG-PP-CS, or DD-PP-CS. A variety of MRI features were reviewed independently by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists blinded to final diagnosis and compared between the 3 groups. For statistical analysis, HG-PP-CS and DD-PP-CS were combined.

resultsFifty-eight patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 31 (53%) males and 27 (47%) females with a mean age at diagnosis of 46.1 years (range 11-83 years), 14 (24%) of whom had an underlying diagnosis of diaphyseal aclasis. Forty-one (70.7%) cases were peripheral and 17 (29.3%) periosteal, 38 (66%) involving the flat bones, 15 (26%) the major long bones, 3 (5%) the spine, and 2 (3%) the bones of the hands and feet. Final histology revealed 33 (57%) ACT/Gd1-PP-CS, 18 (31%) HG-PP-CS, and 7 (12%) DD-PP-CS. Periosteal tumours were 16 times more likely to be HG/DD-CS compared to peripheral tumours (p < 0.001). Intra-medullary tumour extension was predictive of HG/DD-CS (p = 0.004) for both tumour types, while cap thickness (p = 0.04) and a diffuse cap type (p = 0.03) were differentiating features of low-grade and high-grade peripheral CS. DISCUSSION: A variety of features can help differentiate low-grade from high-grade peripheral/periosteal CS, the most significant being origin from the bone surface.
