Spontaneous Resolution of an Osteochondroma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 13-year-old girl presented with an apparent classic osteochondroma. Because she was skeletally immature, the decision was made to observe the lesion. She returned to the clinic at age 17 for unrelated reasons and was noted to no longer have the palpable mass. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed resolution of the osteochondroma. The age range of this case fits with reported cases of childhood osteochondromas. The mechanism of resolution has been theorized to be incorporation of the lesion back into the bone during remodeling, fractures, or pseudoaneurysms. An initial period of observation is thus recommended with new patients.
