Multiple Distal Femoral Osteochondromas Encasing Popliteal Neurovascular Bundle.
Article in Cureus, 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
Multiple hereditary exostosis syndrome is a rare diagnosis with approximately 1:50000 incidence prevailing in males. The exostoses or osteochondromas are benign but have the potential for malignant transformation in 1-5%. There is a strong genetic component, with exostosis (EXT) signaling pathways being an underlying cause. They can be symptomatic, with pain and functional deficit as the main complaints. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who presented with pain and anatomical deformity in his left lower femur. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple osteochondromas compressing the popliteal neurovascular bundle. Excision of the osteochondromas was performed to decompress the neurovascular bundle in a multidisciplinary approach. Histological examination demonstrated no evidence of malignancy. Currently, there is no consensus for patients diagnosed with multiple osteochondromas regarding further investigation and/or screening for malignant transformation.
