Adolescent Paraspinal Lipoblastoma: 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: Lipoblastomas are fatty tumors of mesenchymal origin with a peak incidence between the ages of 5 and 6 years. Several cases of lipoblastomas have been reported in the pediatric population, with few in the paraspinal musculature. We present a case of a paraspinal lipoblastoma in an adolescent. Case Report: An 11-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic thoracic mass. Imaging revealed a 5 cm3 lesion involving the left fourth and fifth ribs with extension into the T4-T5 neural foramen. Biopsy confirmed lipoblastoma. Marginal resection was performed without complication, and there was no recurrence at 2 years. Conclusion: Lipoblastomas are rare mesenchymal tumors whose differential diagnosis includes lipomas and liposarcomas. While benign, lipoblastomas grow rapidly and can cause mass effect on neurovascular structures. Most cases are diagnosed in infancy; however, this patient was diagnosed in adolescence.
