Trends in Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Bone Metastases among Orthopedic Surgeons.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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 proper diagnosis and treatment of bone metastases are essential for patient survival. However, several strategies for the treatment are practiced. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze what factors influence the choice of a method of treatment.
methodsAn online survey was conducted within the Polish Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology. It consisted of 45 questions and was divided into four main parts: Participant Characteristics, Diagnosis and Qualification, Treatment, and Clinical Cases.
resultsA total number of 104 responses were collected. The most frequently chosen methods were: Intramedullary nail (IMN) + Resection + Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) (30.47%) and IMN without tumor resection (42.13%), and in third place, modular endoprosthesis (17.25%). The less experienced group of orthopedic surgeons more often (47.5% vs. 39.5%) decided to perform IMN without tumor resection than the more experienced group (
conclusionExperience, place of work, and the number of metastasis surgeries performed during a year may influence the choice of treatment method in patients with bone metastases.
