Scaphoid Osteoid Osteoma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic Pitfalls and Management Strategies.

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
Osteoid osteoma (OO) of the scaphoid is an uncommon entity, particularly in pediatric patients, where diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity and overlapping presentation with more common wrist pathologies. We report the case of a pediatric athlete with persistent wrist pain initially diagnosed as a scaphoid fracture. Imaging progression from radiographs to MRI suggested fracture, but confirmatory CT revealed a 5-mm radiolucent lesion with central mineralization, consistent with OO. Surgical excision via volar approach was performed due to intraosseous lesion location and proximity to articular surfaces, with demineralized bone matrix placement and no fixation required. Postoperative recovery was notable for resolution of pain and functional restoration by 2 months. This case highlights the importance of considering OO in atypical locations and the role of CT for definitive diagnosis when MRI is inconclusive. Early recognition can expedite management, reduce morbidity, and prevent long-term sequelae in pediatric athletes.
