Case Report: The role of bone scans in detecting Ribbing disease.
Article in Frontiers in nuclear medicine, 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
In this case, we report the usefulness of bone scintigraphy in evaluating osteoarticular pain when the diagnosis is unclear after standard morphological imaging. A 24-year-old male patient exhibited mild left tibial pain that had been intensifying over a period of 2 years. The initial radiological evaluation suggested a diagnosis of pediatric tibial bone marrow osteosclerosis associated with periostitis, based on standard radiographs and MRI. However, a complementary bone scan was required for confirmation and showed moderate hyperemia and severe hyperfixation of the tibial lesion along with similar lesions on the left femur, both humeri, and the right ulna. These new findings led to a diagnosis of Ribbing disease, a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia.
