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

Introduction: Osteochondromas are the most common benign lesions of the bone. They usually affect flat bones such as the scapula. Case Report: We report a case of a left-handed 22-year-old male with no previous medical history, who came to the orthopedic outpatient clinic complaining of pain in the right shoulder, snapping, poor cosmetic look, and limited range of motion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an osteochondroma of the scapula. The tumor was surgically excised using a muscle splitting technique in line with the muscle fibers. Histopathological evaluation of the excised tumor confirmed the diagnosis of an osteochondroma. Conclusion: Surgical excision of the osteochondroma using muscle splitting in line with the muscle fibers gave good results in terms of patient satisfaction and cosmetic appearance. Delayed diagnosis and management may increase the risk of symptoms such as snapping or winging of the scapula.
