Rare Bone Metastasis of Neuroendocrine Tumors of Unknown Origin: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Orthopaedic surgery, 2022. 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
backgroundThe neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is rare, accounting for about 0.5% of all tumors. NETs have the characteristics of metastasis, especially lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and bone. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 30-year-old man diagnosed with a NET with bone metastasis and presented with waist and leg pain. The imaging findings of this case showed multiple osteosclerosis and no apparent bone destruction. We collected the patient's previous examinations, including laboratory, imaging, and pathological examination to get a precise diagnosis. Given this case, we carried out symptomatic support treatment to relieve the patients' pain symptoms.
conclusionBone metastases from NETs of unknown primary site are rare in both clinical and imaging manifestations. The disease is mainly manifested as multiple osteosclerosis, accompanied by muscle soreness and pain. It is recommended to try chemotherapy for this disorder.
