Radiographic and histopathologic characteristics of simple bone cysts: a retrospective study of 46 cases.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological characteristics of simple bone cysts and to investigate the relationships among these parameters.
methodsA total of 46 cases diagnosed with SBC were included in this retrospective study, analyzing clinical, radiological, histopathological, and treatment data, as well as recurrence. Radiographic evaluations were performed using panoramic imaging and/or cone-beam computed tomography. Associations among clinical, radiological, and histopathological variables were analyzed using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
resultsThe results showed a slight female predilection and a predominant occurrence in the second decade of life. All lesions were located in the mandible, most commonly in the posterior region. Radiographically, lesions were typically unilocular radiolucencies, often with scalloped borders (63.1%) and pseudosepta (56.5%). Histopathologically, fragmented normal bone and fibrous septa were the most frequent findings. Curettage was the most common treatment, and no recurrences were observed. Correlation analyses demonstrated significant associations between multilocular appearance and vascular connective tissue (66.7% vs. 5.9%, p = 0.008), and between lesion size and age, with larger lesions predominantly seen in patients under 20 years, while all patients over 20 years had small lesions (p = 0.002). Although other associations did not reach statistical significance, inflammatory changes were more frequent in symptomatic cases (28.6% vs. 9.4%), and both hemosiderin deposition (25% vs. 10.9%) and vascular connective tissue (21.4% vs. 6.3%) tended to be more common in trauma-associated cases.
conclusionsSBCs most often present as well-defined, unilocular radiolucencies in the posterior mandible; however, internal variations such as pseudosepta and radiopaque areas may complicate their appearance and highlight the need for careful differential diagnosis from more aggressive lesions. Correlation analyses indicated that multilocular radiographic appearance was linked to vascular connective tissue and lesion size was age-dependent, suggesting that clinical, radiological, and histopathological features are interrelated and should be evaluated together.
