Balancing safe resection and spinal stability in osteoblastoma and osteoid osteoma: a retrospective study.
Observational study in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 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
purposeTo report the clinical, functional and oncological outcome in patients with spinal OBL/OO (osteoblastoma/osteoid osteoma) using Enneking and WBB staging system treated at a single center.
methodsThis is a retrospective observational study in which the hospital records of 20 patients with OBL and 11 patients with OO were reviewed with a minimum follow-up period of 24 months. Besides demographic information, presenting symptoms, radiological findings and operative details, the outcome measures reported were: neurological (ASIA) and non-neurological complications, patient-reported outcome score (visual analogue scale) and local recurrence after surgery.
resultsThe mean age at presentation was 20.2 ± 9.2 years and 17.3 ± 6.8 years, respectively for the OBL and OO patient groups, with a male predilection in either tumor. Localized pain was the most common presenting symptom. Neurological deficit at presentation was noted in 8/20 OBL patients, whereas all patients with OO were neurologically intact. Both the tumors predominantly involved posterior elements (27/31 patients) with no intradural involvement. Five patients (all with OO) underwent only decompression/curettage; 26/31 patients underwent decompression with instrumentation. 4 patients underwent Enneking inappropriate resection, with one patient having local tumor recurrence. Significant improvement in pre-existing neurological status and VAS scores was noted at final follow-up.
conclusionSurgical treatment of OBL and OO is associated with a favourable clinical, radiological and oncological outcome. While anatomical constraints don't allow wide excisions, combined Enneking and WBB staging facilitates surgical planning and helps in doing anatomically feasible resections with structural stability.
