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

backgroundThe objectives of this study were to better understand the association between simple bone cysts (SBC) diagnosed within florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) by systematically reviewing the literature with a meta-analysis. This review allows us to study the epidemiology, characteristics, treatments, and follow-up of the association between these two entities. MATERIAL AND

methodsA systematic review was performed on PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, Embase and Google Scholar. Articles reporting primary studies, case reports and case series were included. We reviewed all articles between 1976 and November 2024. Recorded data were patient's characteristics, clinical and radiological features, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. The meta-analysis was performed for the prevalence of the localization of SBC associated FCOD and the number of SBC lesions within FCOD.

resultsA total of 615 studies were assessed for eligibility by reading titles and abstracts. Finally, 16 articles were included, with 51 patients presenting SBC associated with FCOD. Patients were mostly women (92%) with most of an African origin (81,25% ). The mean age was 41-year-old. The usual treatment for the cyst was surgical exploration with bleeding stimulation to improve healing. After surgical procedure, a majority of the followed-up cases healed completely (52%) or partially (32%). Eight cases reported a recurrence during the mean follow-up period of 6,6 years.

conclusionsSBC and FCOD are two conditions which can be rarely associated. This may be under-diagnosed as SBC can be misdiagnosed as part of the FCOD lesions. This review highlights the similar clinical characteristics to FCOD which makes important to find out more clinical and radiographic diagnosis criteria to better diagnose and provide the adequate treatment to obtain bone healing.
