The Diagnostic Challenge of Osteoid Osteoma in the Bones of the Hand-A Case Series.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that rarely occurs in the bones of the hand. Due to the comparatively non-specific symptoms when occurring in the hand, OO is often misdiagnosed at first presentation, posing a diagnostic challenge. In the present case study, six cases of phalangeal and carpal OO, treated surgically at our department between 2006 and 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. We compared all cases regarding demographic data, clinical presentation, imaging findings, time to diagnosis, surgical treatment, and clinical outcome in follow-up examinations. When OO occurs in the bones of the hand, it can lead to swelling and deformities, such as enlargement of the affected bone and nail hypertrophy. Initial misdiagnoses such as primary bone tumors other than OO, tendinitis, osteomyelitis, or arthritis are common. Most of the presented cases showed a prolonged time until diagnosis, whereby the primarily performed imaging modality was often not sensitive. CT proved to be the most sensitive sectional imaging modality for diagnosing OO. With adequate surgical treatment, complications and recurrence are rare.
