A case report of complicated appendicular hydatid cyst mimicking an appendiceal mucocele.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Retaining the etiology of a cystic lesion in the right iliac fossa can be difficult. Appendicular hydatid cyst is a very uncommon cause of a such lesion. In some cases, diagnosis is not obvious. It can radiologically mimic an appendix mucocele, a complicated ovarian cyst, an appendicular lymphangioma or an abscess. Our case highlights the difficulties encountered in this kind of situation and despite the contribution of imaging. We present a case of a 75 years-old woman presented with a right lower quadrant continuous pain. Abdominal CT-scan revealed a multilocular cystic and hydro-aeric mass. The diagnosis of an appendiceal mucocele complicated with gelatinous peritonitis was suspected. An open debulking surgery with right hemicolectomy was performed. The pathological exam has concluded to an infected appendicular hydatid cyst with thick calcified walls. The aim of this work is to report a case of an appendicular hydatid cyst that has imitated an appendicular mucocele to discuss the importance of differential diagnostic reflections and the appropriate treatment.
