An Uncommon Cause of Cervical Pain in a Child: Osteoblastoma of the Cervical Spine.
Article in Cureus, 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
Osteoblastoma in children is a rare diagnosis of primary bone tumors. This case report describes a C5 osteoblastoma in a 12-year-old male patient with upper back and neck pain. While initial radiographs were unrevealing, CT and MRI showed an impinging left C5 pedicle mass, with neural foramina narrowing. Pathology reports confirmed an osteoblastic lesion without malignant characteristics. Infrequent occurrence of osteoblastoma and potentially inconclusive radiographs may lead to diagnostic delays. Thorough evaluation of back pain in pediatric patients is critical in promptly detecting osteoblastoma and other neoplasms.
