Percutaneous treatments of primary aneurysmal bone cysts: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 systematically review the literature to determine recurrence rates of percutaneous treatments for primary aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC).
methodsSearch strategies were performed in the following databases: PubMed, SCIELO, LILACS and BVS, using terms in English, Spanish and Portuguese (PROSPERO Registration Number: CRD42020170340). Longitudinal studies, either observational or clinical trials, with at least five patients and with a mean of 18 months of follow-up were included. Studies had to use any type of percutaneous treatments and report the recurrence rates of primary ABC treatment. Studies selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed independently by two researchers. A global meta-analysis was carried out to assess the proportion of recurrence. Studies were categorized into two subgroups: selective arterial embolization and sclerotherapy.
resultsThirteen studies were included in the present study. The average success rate of percutaneous treatments for ABC was 91.11%, with a total of 37 lesions recurrences in the 416 patients. The sex ratio was 1:1. The subgroup of sclerotherapies presented a lower proportion of recurrence. The proportion of recurrence in the subgroup of selective arterial embolization was 19% (95%IC 12.11-27.54) and that of sclerotherapies was 6% (95%IC 3.65-9.19).
conclusionsBoth percutaneous treatments for ABC are effective, showing a lower rate of recurrence. Sclerotherapy treatments seem to be promising, but further clinical trials must be conducted with a longer follow-up.
