EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE AND EVOLUTION OF ANKLE MUSCULOSKELETAL TUMORS.

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
Objective: Characterizing ankle tumors, presenting the epidemiological profile of these lesions. Methods: Retrospective observational case series study to evaluate the results of clinical and/or surgical treatments of patients with ankle tumors whose first visit occurred from 1990 to 2020. The dependent variables were: benign bone tumor, malignant bone tumor, benign soft tissue tumor, malignant soft tissue tumor, and infection. The independent variables were: sex, age; presence of symptoms (pain/local volume increase/fracture), duration of symptoms until treatment, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence. Results: In total, 70 patients were included-58.5% were women, with a mean age at the time of diagnosis of 21.66 years. Among all cases, 76% were bone tumor, 14% were soft tissue tumor, and 10% were infection. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 21.7 ± 2.29 years. The overall prevalence of pain was 77.1%. In total, 55.6% patients had a general local volume increase 13.4% had fractures. The mean time from symptoms to treatment was 17.4 ± 4.61 months and the mean diagnosis time was 10.13 ± 0.86 months. Of all cases, 73.44% underwent surgical treatment and 22.64% had recurrence. Conclusion: In this series, ankle tumors corresponded mainly to bone tumors. Benign tumors were the most prevalent type of tumor and the highest occurrence was among young people.
