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

Osteoid osteomas (OO) are benign bone tumors that are prevalent in young adults. The typical clinical picture of the disease is pain that worsens at night, which may be alleviated by Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). The most common imaging finding of OO is a lytic lesion, known as a nidus, with variable intralesional mineralization, accompanied by bone sclerosis, cortical thickening and surrounding bone marrow edema, as well as marked post-contrast enhancement. The most commonly affected sites are the long bones of the lower limbs, but the ribs are rarely reported sites. The present study describes a case of osteoid osteomas located in the rib which was removed by rib resection using CT-scan guidance.
