3D printing for the treatment of pathological fracture associated with patellar osteoblastoma: case reports.
Article in International journal of surgery 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: Osteoblastoma is a rare, benign osteogenic tumor. Among patients with osteoblastoma, a small number initially seek medical treatment for pathological fractures of the patella. Importance: The patella plays a crucial role in the knee joint, contributing significantly to its normal function. Presentation of Case: This report describes the case of a young male patient with patellar osteoblastoma complicated by a pathological fracture that was treated using a 3D-printed, customized, tantalum-alloy patellar prosthesis. Clinical Discussion: Surgical intervention serves as the primary treatment modality for patellar tumors, encompassing both partial and complete resection of the patella. Conclusion: The 2-year follow-up demonstrated satisfactory efficacy, and functional recovery was attained.
