The Role of Denosumab in the Treatment of Primary Tumors of Bone.
Review in The Journal of hand surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Many hand surgeons treat benign bone tumors without referral to orthopedic oncologists. However, there have been considerable advances in medical therapy for some of these tumors, with which hand surgeons may not be as familiar. This review focuses on the mechanism and uses of denosumab in the treatment of benign tumors of bone. Although the hand surgeon may not be directly prescribing this therapy, they are often the only physician treating the patient for these conditions. As such, awareness regarding the use of this therapy in reducing pain, decreasing tumor volume, and treatment of potential lung metastases is critical to those taking on these cases without the support of an orthopedic oncologist. This article aims to familiarize hand surgeons with denosumab to help promote knowledge of this therapeutic option and the potential role of this medication in the treatment of primary bone tumors in the hand.
