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: Chondrosarcoma has the highest prevalence among the primary malignant bone tumors in adults over the age of 50, and the scapular region is the most affected anatomical site. Case Report: We report the case of a 66-year-old female patient, with no previous medical history, who consulted for aggravating mixed, non-specific, and atraumatic pain in the right shoulder, evolving for a year. The radiological assessment, including a computed tomography (CT) scan, a magnetic resonance imaging, and a tumor CT-guided biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of a Grade 2 chondrosarcoma. A curative surgical treatment was performed, by an extended tumor resection and simultaneous joint reconstruction by a reversed total shoulder prosthesis with a custom-made total scapular prosthesis. This option allows to maintain survival prognosis, associated with the preservation of upper limb function. Conclusion: The results were conclusive at the curative level and very encouraging from the functional point of view with progressive and partial recovery of the articular amplitudes, allowing the preservation of patient's autonomy and quality of life. No complications such as scapular dislocation or tumor recurrence were documented at 3-year postoperative follow-up.
