Imaging characteristics of parasymphyseal pubic cartilaginous cysts.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo review the imaging of parasymphyseal pubic cartilaginous cysts (PPCCs). MATERIALS AND
methodsAn IRB-approved retrospective review was performed to identify pathologically and image-confirmed cases of PPCC. Anatomic location relative to the pubic symphysis, lesion size, CT/MRI characteristics, and imaging characteristics from additional modalities, when available, were recorded. Histology, if present, was reviewed. Clinical data was recorded from electronic health records.
resultsForty-nine cases of PPCCs were identified, four histologically confirmed cases and forty-five with characteristic imaging features (32F, 17 M, mean age 70.8 ± 9.9 years). Mean lesion dimensions were 17 ± 8 mm anteroposterior, 18 ± 7 mm transverse, and 14 ± 7 mm craniocaudal. The most common lesion location was superior and posterior to the pubic symphysis, seen in 20 (41%) of 49 cases. PPCCs typical appearance on CT was a rim-enhancing, complex cystic mass with mean internal density of 45 ± 16 HU. PPCCs typical appearance on MRI was a rim-enhancing, T1 hypointense, heterogeneously T2 hyperintense lesion.
conclusionPPCCs are benign degenerative cystic lesions originating from the pubic symphysis occurring most commonly in older women. Recognition of the characteristic location and imaging features of PPCCs can help prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary intervention.
