An Unusual Giant Osteochondroma of Distal Tibia: A Case Report with Literature Review.
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. 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
Introduction: Benign bone tumors like osteochondroma are common during skeletal maturity occurring usually at the ends of long bones, such as the distal femur, proximal humerus, and proximal tibia. The tumor can occur in sessile or pedunculated forms. Mass lesions occurring around the ankle can lead to chronic pain, pathological fractures, progressive erosion, and scalloping of adjacent bone. This report highlights a case of a progressively enlarging bony swelling around the distal tibia with uncommon radiological and histological presentation managed with en bloc excision. Case Report: A 30-year-old male with 3 years of progressive bony enlargement without any history of significant trauma presented to our tertiary care hospital. The radiological and histological investigations were performed and many varied differentials were proposed. The lesion was provisionally diagnosed to be a case of an uncommon form of osteochondroma and en bloc excision was done. The patient followed up for a period of 6 months and the patient had uneventful recovery with no recurrence. Conclusion: Osteochondromas in the distal tibia are infrequent occurrences among common skeletal tumors. Timely surgical intervention is recommended for symptomatic lesions or those causing compression or mass effects.
