DIAGNOSTIC COMPETENCE IN BONE TUMORS: INFLUENCE OF ONCO-ORTHOPEDIC TRAINING.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. 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
Understanding the nature of musculoskeletal tumors is crucial for appropriate management and to secure a favorable prognosis. Orthopedists' ability to identify these pathologies early and accurately is paramount. There is a requirement to raise awareness within the orthopedic community regarding the necessity of referrals to orthopedic oncology specialists, as delays in initiating proper treatment can compromise patient prognosis. Objective: The objective was to assess the capability of non-specialist orthopedists in identifying bone lesions suggestive of tumors and thus classify them by employing a questionnaire with radiographs and comparison with specialists. We aim to gain an in-depth understanding of their diagnostic competence and provide insights into teaching the subject in orthopedic residency programs. Methods: The sample consisted of 90 participants who answered the questionnaire: 18 orthopedic oncology specialists, 58 non-specialist orthopedists, and 14 orthopedic residents. Results: Specialists achieved an average accuracy of 12.50 ± 1.07, while non-specialists scored 10.00 ± 0.60 (p<0.001). Among non-specialists, there was no statistical significance when comparing whether they underwent specialization internship during residency nor the duration of the year of such training. The period since graduation also indicated no differences. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of referring patients with suspected tumors to specialized orthopedists.
