Sclerotherapy with absolute alcohol in a child with spinal aneurysmal bone cyst: A case report.

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
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign and locally proliferative vascular disorder in the form of a non-neoplastic bone lesion commonly found in children and young adults. Several treatments and therapeutic options are available. Percutaneous sclerotherapy is an alternative treatment for ABC with less morbidity than other therapies. An 11-year-old girl presented with a lump in her left flank since 10 months ago with paresthesia, and leg weakness. The patient was unable to raise her legs and walk. The patient underwent posterior surgical and stabilization procedures with tumor extirpation. Three months postsurgery, the lump progressively increased and tenderness. MRI showed an expansile destructive lytic lesion, firm borders, regular margins, and multiple septa with clear transition zones, without periosteal reactions, forming a picture of a "soap bubble appearance" surrounding the lumbar paravertebral. The patient underwent sclerotherapy using 5 ml of absolute alcohol under visual fluoroscopy guidance. After the sclerotherapy, the patient showed clinical improvement and decreased lump size. No side effects or massive bleeding were experienced postsclerotherapy. Thoracolumbar x-ray post sclerotherapy showed a decreased mass size in the posterior lumbar area. This case demonstrates that sclerotherapy presents a secure alternative for pediatric patients in contrast to spinal ABC surgery. It offers minimal invasiveness and reduced morbidity. The percutaneous administration of absolute alcohol proves effective in treating spinal ABC. In this case, the patient experienced clinical improvement, leading to a decrease in lump size. There were no instances of significant bleeding around the lump postsclerotherapy.
