A Technique for Resecting Symptomatic Osteochondromas Using Single-Channel Transforaminal Endoscope.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors, consisting of trabecular bone covered by a cartilage cap. Symptomatic osteochondromas are conventionally treated with open surgical excision. This article introduces a minimally invasive technique using a single-channel transforaminal endoscope to resect osteochondromas. The patient is placed in the supine position. A 2-cm skin incision is made with the aid of a guidewire. A working sleeve is inserted over the guidewire, followed by the insertion of a 30° spinal transforaminal endoscope with a 6.2-mm working channel. Tissue dissection is performed, and a custom-made osteotome is used to excise the osteochondroma from the host bone. The osteochondroma is then removed with forceps. The incisions are closed with interrupted sutures, which are smaller and more cosmetically beneficial. The use of a single-channel transforaminal endoscope for resecting osteochondromas is a reproducible and straightforward minimally invasive technique. This method may be applicable to the treatment of similar musculoskeletal osteochondromas in the future.
