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

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign heterotopic bone formation in muscle or soft tissue. It is a self-limiting disease that is usually initiated by trauma and often occurs in the extremities of the body. Here we report a rare case of traumatic myositis ossificans caused by unusual trauma (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) at thoracic paraspinal muscles. After a needle biopsy, the lesion increased in size, and the patient's symptoms worsened. Malignant soft tissue tumors such as osteosarcoma should be differentiated, so excision of the mass was performed. The final diagnosis was MO with aneurysmal bone cystic change. This case is a very rare form of MO that showed an unusual cause, location, clinical course, and pathologic result on follow-up. This can be an instructive case for radiologists as it is a common disease entity with unusual manifestations.
