Sacral Giant Cell Tumor Presenting as Low Back Pain in the Chiropractic Office: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Sacral giant cell tumors are a rare cause of low back pain and may be challenging to identify via routine clinical examination and radiography. A 47-year-old woman presented to a chiropractor with a one-month history of worsening low back pain with radiation to the posterior thighs, worsened with ambulation, and used a cane to walk. She previously saw an orthopedic surgeon and was diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis, having tried anti-inflammatory medications, exercises, and acupuncture without success. The chiropractor ordered lumbar magnetic resonance imaging which revealed an aggressive sacral lesion and referred the patient to an oncologist. The oncologist performed positron emission tomography/computed tomography and biopsy, confirming a sacral giant cell tumor. A surgical team recommended tumor resection, lumbosacral fusion, radiotherapy, and zoledronic acid infusion. Sacral giant cell tumors are rare and may be challenging to identify via routine radiography. These tumors are an important differential to consider for patients with unexplained lumbosacral symptoms unresponsive to care.
