Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation: an educational review.
Review in Insights into imaging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a surface-based bone lesion belonging to the group of benign chondrogenic tumors. The aim of this review is to familiarize the readers with imaging features and differential diagnosis of BPOP, also addressing pathological presentation and treatment options. The peak of incidence of BPOP is in the third and fourth decades of life, although it can occur at any age. Hands are the most common location of BPOP (55%), followed by feet (15%) and long bones (25%). On imaging, BPOP appears as a well-marginated mass of heterotopic mineralization arising from the periosteal aspect of the bone. Typical features of BPOP are contiguity with the underlying bone and lack of cortico-medullary continuity, although cortical interruption and medullary involvement have been rarely reported. Histologically, BPOP is a benign bone surface lesion characterized by osteocartilaginous proliferation with disorganized admixture of cartilage with bizarre features, bone and spindle cells. Differential diagnosis includes both benign-such as florid reactive periostitis, osteochondroma, subungual exostosis, periosteal chondroma and myositis ossificans-and malignant lesions-such as periosteal chondrosarcoma and surface-based osteosarcoma. Treatment consists of surgical resection. Local recurrences are common and treated with re-excision.Critical relevance statement Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation is a benign mineralized mass arising from the periosteal aspect of bone cortex. Multi-modality imaging characteristics, pathology features and differential diagnosis are here highlighted to familiarize the readers with this entity and offer optimal patient care.
