Denosumab combined with precision radiotherapy for recurrent giant cell tumor of the thoracic spine: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Giant cell tumors of the spine have a high recurrence rate owing to their special anatomical site; hence, further treatment after recurrence is very challenging. Achieving effective tumor control and improving the long-term quality of life of the patients are the main treatment purposes to consider for recurrent giant cell tumors of the spine. A patient showing giant cell tumor recurrence of the thoracic spine after curettage received denosumab combined with precision radiotherapy, through which the tumor gained good control and the patient could regain normal functioning. A review of the relevant literature suggested that denosumab combined with radiotherapy is an effective new approach for the treatment of recurrent giant cell tumors of the spine.
