Autologous Rib Grafts for Sternal Reconstruction After Excision of a Chondrosarcoma.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short 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
Sternal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant condition. Although surgical resection is crucial, the reconstruction of sternal defects is challenging. A 64-year-old male patient with a history of 2 separate sternal tumor resections received a diagnosis of sternal chondrosarcoma recurrence. Because the tumor caused bone destruction and invasion into the sternum, the sternum and tumor were resected. Sternal reconstruction with autologous ribs was performed. Although the tumor was diagnosed as a recurrent chondrosarcoma, the patient had a long disease-free survival postoperatively. Local control is important in chondrosarcomas, and autogenous rib grafts may be an option for patients with sternal defects.
