Primary multilocular hydatid cyst of neck with unique presentation: a rare case report and literature review.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2014. 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
Hydatid cyst (HC) is a parasitic infection caused by larva form of Echinococcus. It occurs frequently in liver and lungs. Primary HC of neck is extremely rare occurrence and here we report it with unusual presentation. A 35-year-old male presented with slowly growing painless swelling in right side of neck for 6-7 years. The swelling measured 11 × 6 cm and cough impulse elicited on local examination. MRI scan revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion in neck. Fine needle aspiration cytology yielded fluid aspirate and smear showed fragment of laminated membrane, suggestive of HC. The intact cyst was removed surgically and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of HC. Both clinicians and radiologists should consider HC in differential diagnosis of head and neck swelling for proper management.
