Allograft Impaction and Supplementary Plating for the Management of Epi-Metaphyseal Enchondroma: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Enchondroma is a common bone tumor; however, its location in the proximal epi-metaphyseal region of the tibia is a rare finding. Its management is complicated by the weight-bearing nature of the site and despite an array of available treatment modalities in the literature, there is no fixed consensus. Case Report: Through this case, we report a 60-year-old female who was evaluated for bilateral knee osteoarthritis. On plain radiography, a lytic lesion was noted which on CT guided biopsy was confirmed to be an enchondroma of the right proximal tibia. The patient underwent extensive curettage, allograft impaction, and supplementary fixation by a poly ethyl ether ketone plate. Following a period of immobilization, she was able to walk full weight-bearing after 3 weeks of the surgery and carry out her daily activities at 2 months. At 1 year postoperatively, the patient achieved excellent clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes without any complications. Conclusion: Management of an enchondroma in weight-bearing regions of long bones can pose multiple challenges. Timely diagnosis and management by thorough curettage, uncompromised allograft impaction, and supplementary fixation by a PEEK plate give excellent short-term and long-term results.
