Unicameral Bone Cysts: Review of Etiopathogenesis and Current Concepts in Diagnosis and Management.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Objective: This article aims to review the epidemiology, etio-pathogenesis and updates in clinical diagnostics and management of unicameral bone cysts (UBC). Methods: A computerized literature search using Cochrane database of systematic reviews, EMBASE and PubMed was performed. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms used in searches included the following sub-headings: "unicameral bone cyst", "epidemiology", "etiology", "pathogenesis", "diagnosis", "management" and "surgery". Studies were analyzed based on clinical relevance for the practicing orthopedic surgeon. Results: UBC accounts for 3% of all bone tumors and is asymptomatic in most cases. Nearly 85% of cases occur in children and adolescents, with more than 90% involving the proximal humerus and proximal femur. Despite multiple theories proposed, the exact etiology is still unclear. Diagnosis is straightforward, with radiographs and MRI aiding in it. While non-surgical treatment is recommended in most cases, in those warranting surgery, combined minimal-invasive techniques involving decompression of cyst and stabilization have gained importance in recent times. Conclusion: There is variation in the diagnosis and treatment of UBCs among surgeons. Due to the vast heterogeneity of reported studies, no one method is the ideal standard of care. As most UBCs tend to resolve by skeletal maturity, clinicians need to balance the likelihood of successful treatment with morbidity associated with procedures and the risks of developing a pathological fracture. Study Design: Review Article.
