1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumors (OFMT) are rare tumors with an intermediate risk of malignancy that are usually found in the extremities. To date, only three cases of OFMTs involving the paraspinal musculature have been reported in the literature. Two of these previously reported cases demonstrated poorly circumscribed tumors with involvement of adjacent osseous and soft tissue structures. We report the first case of a well-circumscribed OFMT involving the paraspinal musculature with extrinsic erosion of bone but otherwise no significant soft tissue extension. Specifically, we review the CT and MRI findings, immunohistopathology, and genetics used to confirm the diagnosis of OFMT.
