Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in an elderly patient involving spine and ribs.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 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
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign skeletal disorder characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous tissue, which often causes bone expansion and deformities. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD), involving multiple bones, is uncommon and rarely affects the spine and ribs, with fewer than 40 reported cases in the literature. We present the case of a 65-year-old male who presented with sudden left-sided back pain and left sided ptosis. Imaging revealed extensive FD affecting the cervicothoracic vertebrae and the adjacent ribs. Surgical resection involving thoracotomy and excision of the pathological ribs and spinal lesions was performed. The procedure ensured the preservation of vital structures and achieved complete tumor removal. Surgical resection remains crucial in managing symptomatic PFD of the spine and ribs with the aim of complete tumor removal. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor recurrence and evaluate patient outcomes.
