Osseous hydatidosis of the proximal femur: a rare diagnosis in revision total hip arthroplasty.

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
Musculoskeletal hydatidosis is a rare but severe disease in central Europe. This case report presents the incidental finding of an osseous hydatidosis after cementless revision total hip arthroplasty in a patient without a preoperative history of hydatidosis or any clinical symptoms. Revision total hip arthroplasty had been necessary due to a septic osteonecrosis of the femoral head 2 years after osteosynthesis of a traumatic proximal femur fracture with a sliding hip screw. The positive sample was taken out of the greater trochanter in the area of the possible former entry point for the lag screw, which was macroscopic inconspicuous. Sero-analysis could afterwards confirm the suspected diagnosis. Postoperative chemotherapy with albendazole was performed for 6 months. A full-body MRI did not reveal any further cysts. This case demonstrates a possible impact of migration on the expected pathogens in revision arthroplasty. This demonstrates that in revision arthroplasty, an infection with this parasite also has to be taken into account, if the patients come from an area endemic for hydatidosis.
