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

Herein, a 30-year-old Caucasian female who presented with a persistent pain in the right pelvic region due to an enchondroma and treated with RF ablation is described. An initial MRI of the pelvis revealed a well-circumscribed lesion in the right inferior ischiopubic ramus with a maximum diameter of 9.5 mm. The final diagnosis was established by a percutaneous CT-guided bone biopsy, which excluded malignancy and revealed an enchondroma. About a month after the biopsy, a percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the lesion was performed. The symptoms resolved completely gradually 2 months after the treatment and a follow-up imaging with MRI showed complete resolution of the pathological enhancement indicating necrosis of the lesion. RFA has not been previously reported as a treatment option of enchondromas found in flat bones of the pelvis and could be a safe alternative minimally invasive treatment option in such cases, avoiding major operations.
