Osteochondroma of the Scapula: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Osteochondromas are bone lesions composed of medullary and cartilaginous bone covered by a cap of hyaline cartilage. The presence of medullary and cortical bone with the continuity of the tumor is pathognomonic for osteochondroma and aid in establishing the diagnosis. We report a case of a two-year-old girl who presented to our clinic following her mother noticing a palpable, growing, and painful mass on her left scapula. There was no limitation in the range of motion. A clear-cut mass was seen on the dorsal aspect and palpated measuring around 2.5x3 cm. Surgical excision of the mass followed by histologic examination confirmed osteochondroma. Upon follow-up, the patient had no pain and had a full range of left shoulder motion without discomfort or pain. In conclusion, scapular exostoses are very rare and more so when they present dorsally. Symptomatic lesions can be managed effectively with surgical excision of exostosis.
