Percutaneous Curettage and Local Autologous Cancellous Bone Graft: A Simple and Efficient Method of Treatment for Benign Bone Cysts.

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
Background: Several treatment modalities have been reported to minimize the recurrence after surgical treatment of benign bone cysts. In this study, we evaluated local tumor control, recurrence rate, and bone healing of benign bone cysts after treatment with a simple technique, percutaneous curettage and a local autologous cancellous bone graft. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the records of 16 patients diagnosed with benign bone cysts between 2003 and 2010. We documented the demographic data, radiographic signs of healing (progressive decrease in radiolucency, remineralisation, ossification, consolidation of the cyst, and reconstitution of the bone), healing rate, postoperative complications, and recurrence. Results: Seven of the 16 patients (43.75%) were diagnosed with a simple bone cyst (SBC), while nine (56.25%) had an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). On average, radiographic signs of healing were present within 3-6 months, but in two patients these signs presented after 16 months. During the follow-up period, there was no difference in the healing rate between patients with SBC and ABC; no signs of deep or superficial wound infection, no postoperative fracture, and no recurrence in any case over an average of 6.3 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Treatment of benign bone cysts (SBC/ABC) with minimally invasive percutaneous curettage and a local autologous cancellous bone graft is a simple and effective modality with a promising outcome in the local control of recurrence and in enhancing bony consolidation.
