Fatal Case of Giant Chondrosarcoma of Rib with Paraplegia: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2023. 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: Chondrosarcoma of rib encroaching spine and subsequently leading to paraplegia has never been reported in the literature. Association of paraplegia can often lead to misdiagnosis with a common disease like breast cancer or Potts spine causing a significant delay in treatment. Case Report: We describe a case of a 45-year-old male with chondrosarcoma of rib with paraplegia who was misdiagnosed initially as Pott's spine and was started empirically on anti-tubercular treatment for paraplegia and chest wall mass. Further work up at tertiary care center including detailed imaging and biopsy revealed features of chondrosarcoma. However, before any definitive treatment could be done; the patient passed away. Conclusion: Empirical treatment of paraplegia with chest wall mass for more common diseases like tuberculosis are often initiated without obtaining appropriate radiological and tissue diagnosis. This can lead to a delay in diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
