Asymptomatic Simple Bone Cysts Revealed by Imaging: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are rare benign intraosseous lesions typically discovered incidentally during radiographic examinations. This report presents two cases of mandibular SBCs in young North African males. The first case involved a 15-year-old with an asymptomatic radiolucent lesion between teeth 44 and 45, incidentally found after dental trauma. The second case concerned a 22-year-old with a swelling and a separate asymptomatic radiolucent lesion extending from tooth 34 to 38. In both cases, imaging revealed well-defined unilocular lesions with scalloped borders and no cortical expansion. Surgical exploration uncovered empty bone cavities containing minimal serosanguinous fluid. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SBCs by identifying fibrous connective tissue lacking epithelial lining. Both patients underwent successful surgical curettage. These cases underscore the importance of radiographic, clinical, and histological correlation in diagnosing SBCs and highlight surgical exploration as both diagnostic and therapeutic. Accurate recognition is essential to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment.
