Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Osteochondromas are a unique group of benign bone tumors that are characterized by bony outgrowth covered by Cartilage. It has a peculiar micro-architecture as its cortices are extensions of those of parent bone and there is a continuity of medullary cavity; this is akin to branching in plants, rightly earning the name "Exostosis." Case Report: We report a case of a 21-year-old male who presented with complaints of swelling on the upper back associated with mild discomfort. Examination confirmed a bony mass on the dorsal aspect of the scapula without any restricted range of motion of the shoulder joint. On the confirmation of diagnosis, en bloc excision was performed. Conclusion: In conclusion, dorsal scapular osteochondromas are a rarity, and excision of the lesion is an effective management for symptomatic lesions.
