Long term surgical results of cases with aneurysmal bone cysts-a comprehensive clinical, functional and oncologic analysis.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aims to analyze long-term outcomes in patients with aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) and demonstrate effective disease control. In the literature, the absence of a long-term study systematically evaluating the outcomes of a population with such a significant number of patients from different age groups will shed light on our surgical preferences.
methodsThe study encompassed ABC diagnoses, primarily concerning long bones (46 women, 62 men; mean age 19.4 years; range 2-67) extracted from patient records spanning from 2007 to 2022 in our clinic. The average follow-up was 81 months. Extended intralesional curettage was performed using a mechanical burr, cauterization, grafting and internal fixation in 96 patients (88.9%), whereas resection was carried out in 12 patients (11.1%).
resultsPathological fractures occurred in 35% of cases. Reconstruction was performed in five patients (4.6%; endoprosthetic in 4, biological reconstruction in 1) and seven patients (6.5%) required no reconstruction. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 95.5 (range 60-100). Complications and recurrence rates were 12% and 9.3%, respectively. Surgical choice and adjuvant agent significantly influenced long-term complications and recurrence (p = 0.001).
conclusionsIn the treatment management of aneurysmal bone cysts, extended intralesional curettage surgery coupled with the use of electrocautery and a high-speed burr has shown successful outcomes in long-term follow-up. A wider sample size with prospective randomized studies can be conducted regarding the treatment of ABCs.
