Chondrosarcoma of the toe: A case report and literature review.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChondrosarcoma of the foot is a rare malignant bone tumour, and it is even rarer when it originates in a toe bone. Surgical excision is the only effective treatment. The osteolytic destruction of the tumour severely affects limb function and carries the risk of distant metastasis. Most such tumours are removed surgically to minimize local recurrence and distant metastases, maximize limb function, and prolong the patient's tumour-free survival time. The main objective of this article is to present the case of a chondrosarcoma that invaded the first phalanx of the left foot and formed a large phalangeal mass with osteolytic destruction of the distal bone. CASE SUMMARY: A 74-year-old man suffered from swelling of his left toe for six months, with pain and swelling for two months. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed that the tumour on the first phalanx of the left foot was approximately 54.9 mm × 44.6 mm, surrounded by a significant soft tissue signal mass, with osteolytic destruction of the distal phalanx and a speckled bone-like high-density shadow within it.
conclusionChondrosarcoma occurring in a toe bone is extremely rare. In this case, extensive surgical resection of the large low-grade chondrosarcoma, which showed osteolytic destruction and invaded the distal metatarsal bone, was safe and effective.
