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
Objectives: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is one of the most common benign bone tumors and can occur in various skeletal structures. It often presents with symptoms, such as nocturnal pain, which may mimic constitutional conditions, and it is characterized by a distinct radiological appearance that allows for easy differentiation from other lesions. Over the past decade, numerous studies have evaluated the efficacy of both surgical and radiological interventions for treating OO. While several treatment methods are available, each carries distinct advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to report the outcomes of surgical resection for ocular (OO) lesions. Methods: A total of 29 patients were enrolled in this study. Of these, 14 patients chose surgical resection as their primary treatment, while 15 patients opted for radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Three patients who exhibited a lack of response to RF ablation subsequently underwent surgical resection, bringing the total number of patients in the surgery group to 17. This study specifically focused on lesions located in the peritrochanteric region. For lesions that recurred at the same site, whether due to recurrence or lack of response to initial treatment, the same treatment modality used in the first instance was applied. Results: Among the 17 individuals who initially underwent surgical resection, 11 had extracapsular lesions, and 6 had intracapsular lesions. All patients who underwent surgical resection became symptom-free, and no complications were observed during the procedure. Furthermore, all cases that received surgical resection were confirmed through pathological assessment. Additionally, three patients with extracapsular lesions had previously been treated with RF thermoablation but had not fully recovered from their symptoms, necessitating surgical resection. Conclusion: Based on the results, although RF is the first choice of treatment for OO, surgical resection could be a vital and safe option for peritrochanteric OO.
