Distal Ulna Excision for Giant Cell Tumor-Retrospective Functional Outcome and Recurrence Analysis from Single Tertiary Center.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 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
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is classified as an intermediate malignant bone tumor, and occurrences in the distal ulna are particularly rare. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of treating GCTB in the distal ulna through wide excision. We conducted a retrospective analysis at a single center, focusing on patients with GCTB of the distal ulna. The study included six nonmetastatic patients (5 males, 1 female; mean age 31 years, range 19-48 years) who underwent wide excision of the tumor without reconstruction. All patients followed a physiotherapy protocol. The mean follow-up period was 20 months, ranging from 12 to 54 months. Mean resection length was 8.3 cm. There were no cases of local recurrence and distal metastasis. At the latest follow-up, mean grip strength was 81% compared to the normal side, mean Modified Mayo wrist score was 83, and mean Patient Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) score was 23. Ulnar carpal translation was not present. For giant cell tumors of the distal ulna, we recommend en bloc excision with adequate margins, irrespective of Campanacci grade, without the necessity for reconstruction.
