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
Chodrosarcoma is the third most common primary malignancy of the bone, it is considered the most frequent malignancy of the chest wall. Chondrosarcoma at the costovertebral junction is rare and few cases are described in the literature. Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 47-year-old female with a complaint of chronic pain in the right posterior upper chest, dyspnea, and episodes of dizziness.The diagnosis of low-grade chondrosarcoma at the posterior costovertebral junction was made by video-assisted thoracic surgery and computed tomography.The surgical management included resection of the tumor and parts of adjacent ribs. Discussion: Chondrosarcoma is chemotherapy and radiotherapy-resistant. The total surgical excision of the tumor with sufficient margins is usually curative. Conclusion: A follow-up is necessary because of the potential for recurrence.
