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
purposeThe increasing incidence of bone metastases frequently leads to skeletal-related events (SREs) and pain. While multidisciplinary management is recommended by scientific societies, a standardized model remains undefined. An example can be provided by the Osteoncology multidisciplinary outpatient clinic (OMC) of the Veneto Oncology Institute, created to offer support to patients with bone metastases. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with bone metastases are evaluated by a multidisciplinary team since 2013. Access to the OMC is regulated by an internal protocol and a form filled out by the referring physicians, which establishes the priority of access and the specific query for the multidisciplinary team. We analyzed the characteristics and outcome of OMC visits of all patients who accessed between January 2018 and June 2023. All data were retrieved from a prospectively managed database.
results2,200 patients were evaluated at OMC, with a median age of 66 years. Breast (33.3%) and lung cancer (19.2%) were the most frequent primary sites. Most patients (85.1%) accessed the OMC in line with the priority indicated by their referral score, with a median waiting time of 6 days. Physicians most frequently asked the multidisciplinary team about the best treatment for bone metastases; 35% sent multiple requests. Following OMC visit, 31.5% of patients received two or more distinct indications. The most frequent were orthopedic corsets (28.3%) and radiotherapy (27.5%).
conclusionThis large series confirms the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach for bone metastases. This method reduces patients' psychophysical stress through rapid and effective assessment and provide precise and tailored therapeutic indications.
