Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation Revisited.
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a rare benign surface-based bone lesion that primarily occurs in the hands and feet of young and early middle-aged adults. The lesion presents as a firm, usually painless mass of variable duration. Radiographs reveal a well-defined, pedunculated or sessile mass arising from the cortical surface of bone without altering the architecture of the underlying cortex. On magnetic resonance imaging, BPOP shows low to intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and variable signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Marked enhancement is often seen after intravenous contrast administration. Histologically, the lesion is composed of an admixture of cartilage, bone and fibrous tissue. Between the cartilage and bone is a characteristic basophilic stroma, so called "blue bone". Immunohistochemistry does not play a significant role in the diagnosis of BPOP. Cytogenetic studies have demonstrated recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, including t(1;17)(q32-42;q21-23), inv(7)(q21.2-22q31.3-32) and inv(6)(p25q15). Most recently, gene rearrangements of collagen type I alpha 1 chain (
