1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Key Clinical Message: Osteochondroma on the ventral scapula is clinically rare and can incur pseudo-winged scapula and snapping syndrome if not treated. In this regard, surgical excision is suggested, if possible, with a minimally invasive approach to accelerate physical recovery. Abstract: Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor, characterized by a cartilage-capped osseous protuberance with cortical and medullary continuity with the underlying native bone. Osteochondroma is commonly found in the long bones, such as the proximal humerus, distal femur, and proximal tibia, but rarely seen in flat bones. We report a case of pedunculated osteochondroma on the ventral surface of left scapula in a young adult woman. She presented with a slight pseudo-winged scapula, occasional pain, and snapping sound with motion of the left shoulder. The tumor was surgically resected using a minimally invasive approach, and an excellent outcome was obtained.
