Joint Preservation in Acetabular Subchondral Cyst Management: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The purpose of this study is to present the management of a symptomatic acetabular subchondral cyst in the right hip in the absence of significant osteoarthritis, along with the joint-preserving surgical approach undertaken. We highlight the efficacy of open surgical excision and bone grafting in relieving symptoms and preserving the integrity of the native hip joint. This case report details a patient with a two-year history of progressive gait impairment and localized pain in the right hip. Radiographic and advanced imaging revealed a subchondral cyst in the right acetabular sourcil without significant evidence of osteoarthritis. After a thorough evaluation, the patient underwent excisional curettage of the cyst followed by the implantation of a cancellous allogenic bone graft. Postoperatively, the patient experienced rapid symptom relief, significant functional improvement, and a return to daily activities without pain. By demonstrating successful functional recovery and pain resolution without the need for total hip arthroplasty, this study aims to contribute to the existing literature on alternative treatment strategies for acetabular subchondral cysts, particularly in patients without advanced joint degeneration.
