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

Myositis ossificans of the chest wall is extremely unusual with fewer than a dozen reported cases. In addition, the occurrence in children younger than 10 years is extremely rare. We report a case of an 8-year-old male who presented with painful and progressively enlarging left-sided chest wall mass. The tumor showed close histo-morphological mimicry with osteosarcoma. Moreover, the characteristic radiographic findings of myositis ossificans were absent. The age of the patient and the absence of attachment to the rib helped exclude extra-skeletal and parosteal osteosarcomas, respectively. The patient was doing well 4 months after surgery.
