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

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare, benign disease. It usually occurs in large joints such as the hip and knee. Few cases have been reported in the spine, especially in the lumbar spine. It is characterized by the presence of clusters of chondrocytes within the joints and free in the joint cavity. The main symptom is pain. Diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion, and malignancy must always be ruled out. Surgical management is a challenge. We present the case of a patient with an extensive spinal tumor that was managed under the principles of minimal spinal invasion. The exeresis was performed in three different surgical times, achieving the total exeresis of the tumor with low morbidity.
