Posterior Scapular Osteochondroma in a Pediatric Patient: An Uncommon Presentation of a Common Benign Tumor.
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: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor, usually arising from long bones. Scapular involvement is uncommon, and posterior surface presentation is particularly rare. Such lesions may lead to pain, cosmetic deformity, disturbance of scapulothoracic mechanics, and have a relatively higher risk of malignant transformation. Case Report: A 6-year-old boy presented with a progressively enlarging bony swelling over the posterior aspect of the left scapula associated with recent-onset pain and restriction of shoulder movements. Radiographs revealed a well-defined exophytic lesion with cortical and medullary continuity and a thin cartilage cap. Complete surgical excision was performed, and histopathology confirmed osteochondroma. Post-operative recovery was uneventful with symptomatic improvement. Conclusion: Posterior scapular osteochondroma in children is rare but clinically relevant. Early diagnosis and timely surgical excision of symptomatic lesions result in excellent outcomes.
