Excision of a Distal Tibial Interosseous Osteochondroma Through Posterolateral Approach: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Osteochondromas arising from the interosseous border of the distal tibia are rare, but cases have been reported previously in the literature. In long-standing cases, they can cause a "mass effect" resulting in the deformation of the bones around the ankle joint, mechanical restriction of joint movement, and even degenerative joint disease. Hence, they need to be resected if patients present with such impending complications. Several surgical techniques have been described previously for tumor resection including the anterior approach and the trans-fibular approach, the latter of which required a fibular osteotomy with or without fibular reconstruction. The surgical technique described here utilizes the posterolateral approach to the ankle joint for tumor excision, thus avoiding the need for any osteotomy or fibular reconstruction and reducing the risk of injury to major neurovascular structures. It also reduces the need for long-term immobilization and promotes a faster return to activity.
