Effectiveness of curettage and bone grafting with and without elastic intramedullary nailing in the treatment of simple bone cyst in children: a meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Aim: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of curettage and bone grafting with and without elastic intramedullary nailing in the treatment of simple bone cyst in children by analyzing domestic and international literature. Methods: Systematically search for literature comparing the efficacy of curettage and bone grafting with and without elastic intramedullary nailing in the treatment of simple bone cyst in children in databases such as Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP. Conduct quality assessment and data extraction of included literature and perform meta-analysis calculations using Stata12.0 software. Results: Meta-analysis showed no heterogeneity ( Conclusion: Curettage and bone grafting with elastic intramedullary nailing is superior to curettage and bone grafting alone for treating simple bone cysts, with lower postoperative refracture incidence. Although the latter may require only one surgery theoretically, refracture or recurrence could necessitate 2-3 additional surgeries.
