Skull base chondroblastoma with aneurysmal bone cyst-like changes treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and doxycycline sclerotherapy: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundChondroblastomas (CBs) are rare benign bone tumors that are often difficult to treat because of their locations. CBs can be even more challenging to successfully manage when they present alongside aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC)-like changes. To minimize operative morbidity, especially in hard-to-reach lesions, percutaneous approaches for both lesions have been individually described. We present a skull base CB with associated ABC-like changes treated by combining two different previously described percutaneous modalities. OBSERVATIONS: The authors report successful percutaneous treatment of a skull base CB with adjacent ABC-like changes in a 17-year-old male. The CB was treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and the adjacent ABC area with doxycycline sclerotherapy. After 3 years of follow-up, there has been no clinical or radiological evidence of recurrence. LESSONS: CBs occur in the skull base and, as elsewhere in the body, can be associated with ABC-like changes. Successful percutaneous treatment of such a CB with ABC-like changes is possible by combining previously described techniques of RFA and doxycycline sclerotherapy.
