1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign bone lesion primarily found in the metaphysis of long bones or spine, with rare occurrences in the head and neck region. We report the case of a 17-year-old female patient with a rapidly enlarging mandibular ABC. Initial imaging and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of ABC, revealing a blood-filled lesion with multinucleated giant cells and no solid components. Owing to the lesion's size and rapid growth, hemimandibulectomy was initially considered but postponed due to concerns about aesthetic and functional outcomes. The patient underwent percutaneous sclerotherapy with polidocanol, followed by intralesional curettage. Post-treatment evaluations indicated complete lesion resolution and improved facial symmetry with no recurrence at 36 months. This case highlights the potential benefits of combining polidocanol sclerotherapy and intralesional curettage for the treatment of jaw ABCs. Further research is needed to determine the optimal application and follow-up of this approach.
