Continuous decompression treatment of unicameral bone cyst in a small-breed dog: A case report.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 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
objectiveTo report the long-term outcomes of continuous decompression for repairing a unicameral bone cyst in a dog. STUDY
designCase report. ANIMAL: A 1-year-old Maltese-Poodle mixed breed dog presented with left forelimb lameness.
methodsA well-defined cyst in the left humeral condyle was detected on radiography and computed tomography. A lateral surgical approach revealed the cyst in the distal metaphysis of the left humerus. The attained cyst fluid and incisional biopsy led to the diagnosis of unicameral bone cyst. To prevent cyst expansion and recurrence, aspiration, open curettage, ethanol cauterization, and continuous decompression using introducer needles were performed.
resultsThe dog recovered from surgery, and a Robert Jones bandage was retained for 2 weeks. The follow-up at 1 month showed resolution of lameness. At 12 months post-surgery, radiographs revealed increased cortical thickness and no recurrence of the cyst or lameness.
conclusionContinuous decompression using introducer needles could be used to repair unicameral bone cysts. Small diameter introducer needles were especially useful, as the lesion was located at the joint. The procedures described in this report could be applied before other salvage procedures to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
