Pathologic Fracture in Childhood: Benign or Malignant?
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
A pathologic fracture is characterized as a break in the bone in an area that has been previously weakened by diseases such as pre-existing pathological bone lesions, due to which even minor falls and trauma may lead to fractures. This paper details a case of an otherwise healthy eight-year-old boy who presented to the ED with an injury to the right lower extremity which was later determined to be a pathological fracture. Imaging revealed the presence of a non-aggressive multicystic bone lesion. This case emphasizes the significance of identification and prompt diagnosis of instances of pathologic fracture, as they may arise as a result of serious underlying conditions such as malignant bone tumors.
