Campanacci stage and cortical destruction predict functional outcomes in giant cell tumor of bone.

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
backgroundAlthough intralesional curettage remains the standard treatment for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), the radiological determinants of postoperative functional outcomes remain incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate the association between clinicodemographic and radiologic characteristics and functional outcomes, local recurrence, and complications following surgical treatment of GCTB.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 27 patients treated surgically for GCTB. Demographic variables, Campanacci stage, tumor burden metrics, and MRI features were recorded. Functional outcome was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score. Univariate comparisons were conducted for recurrence and complications. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of postoperative MSTS scores.
resultsLocal recurrence occurred in 3 patients (11.1%). On univariate analysis, Campanacci stage III, soft tissue extension, higher tumor volume, increased tumor-to-bone ratio, and the presence of the paintbrush border sign were significantly associated with recurrence. Postoperative complications were observed in 6 patients (22.2%) and were associated with older age and greater tumor volume. In multivariate linear regression analyses of postoperative functional outcomes, Campanacci stage III and cortical destruction independently predicted lower MSTS scores when evaluated in separate, collinearity-adjusted models (β = - 2.8, p = 0.007 and β = - 2.4, p = 0.010, respectively).
conclusionsFunctional outcomes following surgical treatment of GCTB are primarily determined by tumor stage and structural integrity rather than demographic factors. Advanced disease and loss of cortical continuity are associated with inferior postoperative function, highlighting the importance of radiologic assessment in surgical planning and patient counseling.
