Two cases of femoral hydatidosis secondary to canine tapeworm treated by albendazole and prosthetic reconstruction.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Osseous hydatidosis is a very severe and recurrent complication of hydatidosis. The two cases reported here illustrate the severity of this invasive and destructive osseous parasitosis located at the femur and the hip joint, which required extensive resection and prosthetic reconstruction. The first case had a long history of liver and lung hydatidosis with a wide 'en-bloc' extra-articular resection of the right hip joint including the proximal femur; the second case had an 'en-bloc' total femur resection and total femur prosthesis. Preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy with albendazole was combined with surgery and was applied for many months. These two cases occurred several years after the incomplete treatments of recurrent lung or liver hydatidosis and might have been prevented if chemotherapy had been initially applied.
