Idiopathic Focal Osteonecrosis of T9 Vertebral Body Mimicking a Malignant Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Occurrence of a focal lytic lesion which is "hot" on positron emission tomography (PET) scan is presumed to be neoplastic until proven otherwise. Focal osteonecrosis of vertebral body (VB) without collapse is a rare entity with sparse literature available. Case Report: A focal osteolytic lesion in a patient with a history of breast carcinoma, in remission, thought to be metastatic lesion on magnetic resonance imaging and PET-computed tomography (CT), with an inconclusive CT-guided biopsy, was found to be osteonecrosis on histopathology of aggregates of tissue obtained from the T9 VB during open surgery. Conclusion: Osteonecrosis without a VB collapse is a rare diagnosis, but should be considered a differential when examining suspected metastatic lesions in VB.
