Management of 5th Metatarsal Giant Cell Tumor By Wide Local Excision And Reconstruction With Non-Vascular Hemifibular Autograft - 2 Year Follow-Up - a Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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: Giant cell tumor (GCT) arising in the small bones of the feet is a rare entity, often presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to local aggression and the need to preserve foot architecture. This report details the case of a 27-year-old female diagnosed with a GCT of the left fifth metatarsal. Case Report: This particular patient was managed with en masse resection of the fifth metatarsal followed by reconstruction using a non-vascularized autologous hemifibular strut graft fixed with K-wire. The patient demonstrated good clinical and radiographic fusion at 6 months and excellent functional recovery at 2-year follow-up. Conclusion: GCT of the metatarsal has been managed with vascularized bone graft, which is technically difficult. We could achieve good results with a non-vascular hemifibular graft, confirming this as a viable method for managing rare GCTs in critical load-bearing locations.
