Giant Cell Tumor of Thumb Proximal Phalanx-A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The prevalence of giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is approximately 5% of all primary osseous tumors. It accounts for <2% of the total cases as far as the involvement of the hand is concerned. Numerous studies stated that <1% of cases have phalangeal involvement of the thumb. Case Report: This case is delineated for its unusual location (thumb proximal phalanx) in a 42-year-old male patient managed by single-stage en-bloc excision, arthrodesis, and web-space deepening procedure without donor-site morbidity. It is known for its notorious nature for reoccurrence (10-50%) and transformation into malignancy (10%); therefore, meticulous dissection is a prerequisite. Conclusion: GCT of the thumb proximal phalanx is quite an unusual presentation. Although very rare, it is thought to be one of the most aggressive varieties of benign bone tumor observed to date. Amid a high rate of recurrence, careful preoperative planning is pivotal for fruitful outcome both anatomically and functionally.
