Giant cell tumour of bone in os sacrum of a prepubertal girl - Surgical and medical treatment with zoledronate and denosumab.
Article in Bone reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 giant cell tumour of bone presented in the os sacrum of a prepubertal girl. Surgery with reconstruction was performed, but total resection was impossible. Zoledronate failed to avoid tumour regrowth, and treatment was changed to denosumab, despite not being recommended for use in growing children. Denosumab treatment for 21 months reduced and stabilized tumour size, the girl became pain free with asymptomatic side effects as mild hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and sclerosis of newly formed bone.
