Pediatric Bone Tumors: Location and Age Distribution of 420 Cases.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesOne of the most important diagnostic tools in bone tumors is X-rays. Preliminary and, in the case of some benign lesions, definitive diagnoses are formed using this basic tool. Part of the decision making in this stage is based on statistical probability using the patient's age, as well as the incidence and predilection sites of different entities. The information used today is based on older and fragmented data. To verify the underlying principles, we retrospectively evaluated all bone tumors in children and adolescents treated by our tertiary center in the last 20 years.
methodsFor this retrospective study, patients under the age of 18 years suffering from histopathologically verified bone tumors were evaluated. Data were retrieved from our local musculoskeletal tumor database.
resultsWe were able to include 420 children treated for bone tumors in our tertiary center. The cohort consisted of 335 benign and 85 malignant lesions. The most common lesions were 137 osteochondromas; the malignant tumors consisted mainly of osteosarcomas (53) and Ewing's sarcomas (28). The primary predilection sites were the metaphyses of long bones.
conclusionsWe were able to confirm and supplement the fragmentary data of these rare diseases using our own cohort.
