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
objectiveThis study was to analyze the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of dedifferentiated central chondrosarcomas (DCCS) in extremities.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 49 patients (27 males, 22 females) who underwent surgical treatment between January 2001 and March 2023 in our institution. All patients were diagnosed with dedifferentiated central chondrosarcomas by needle biopsy or postoperative histopathological examination. The general characters, treatment and clinical outcomes were recorded in the follow-up and all surgical-related complications that occurred were recorded in this study. Overall, these data were used to analyse the prognostic factors of DCCS.
results49 patients were included in this retrospective study and there were no patients lost in the follow-up period. The median diagnosis age of all patients was 57 years old (ranging from 17 to 87) and the median follow-up time was 34 months (range, 1-289). The average tumor size was 9.6 ± 2.4 cm (3.0-15.5). Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 34 and 23 months, respectively. The 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS were 87.8% (95% CI 77.6%-98.0%), 71.4% (35/49), 28.6% (14/49) and 18.4% (9/49). And the 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year PFS were 75.5% (95% CI 63.6%-87.4%), 49.0% (35/49), 26.5% (14/49) and 16.3% (9/49). Multiple variate analyses indicated metastasis, pathological fracture, Enneking staging and surgical margin were independent prognostic factors in extremity dedifferentiated central chondrosarcomas.
conclusionsDedifferentiated central chondrosarcomas in extremities still had a grave prognosis. Metastasis, pathological fracture, Enneking staging, and surgical margin were independent risk factors for prognosis. EVIDENCE LEVEL: IV Therapic.
