Solitary Extraskeletal Giant Osteochondroma of the Ankle in a Four-Year-Old Boy.

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
Solitary extraskeletal osteochondromas are rare benign lesions usually located close to a joint and are characterized by the absence of continuity with the adjacent bone. They are usually found in the hand and feet and are extremely rarely reported in the growing skeleton. In this paper, we describe a four-year-old boy who presented with a solitary calcified tumor in the posterior part of his ankle. We performed a detailed evaluation using plain X-rays, a CT scan, and an MRI, which revealed a well-demarcated calcified tumor that had the characteristics of an osteochondroma but without any continuity with the bones of the ankle joint. The lesion was treated surgically with the excision of a giant osteochondral lesion. Pathological examination revealed mature cartilage at the periphery with cancellous bone in the central part. Thus, we present the clinical and laboratory investigation of a solitary extraskeletal osteochondroma in the ankle of a four-year-old boy, which is an extremely rare case.
