1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a non-malignant lesion of cortical bone, where fibrous tissue replaces normal bone. Its presentation is rare in infants and may clinically and radiologically mimic other malignant lesions such as adamantinoma, making diagnosis challenging. Biopsy and imaging play a key role in diagnosis. Case Report: The patient, a 4-month-old infant of Indian origin, presented with a tender swelling over the proximal aspect of the right tibia. Radiographic evaluation revealed a lytic lesion. Further magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of OFD. We planned to treat it conservatively and monitor the lesion size regularly, given the patient's age and absence of complications. Surgical intervention was deferred unless there is progres---sion or functional compromise. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of OFD in infants and its differentiation from malignant lesions. Through this report, we aim to broaden clinical awareness regarding the occurrence of OFD in young infants and emphasize the role of imaging and biopsy in establishing a definitive diagnosis.
