Hydatidosis of the complete humerus. Treated with radical resection and endoprosthesis. Case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionHydatid bone disease is caused by the Echinococcus granulosus worm. The location of the disease in the humerus is infrequent. No reports of hydatid disease in the entire humerus have been found in the bibliography. We present one case of primary hydatid bone disease affecting the entire humerus, which was treated with radical resection and total endoprosthesis of the humerus. CASE: A 24-year-old patient presented with a diaphyseal humerus fracture. The x-rays and MRI showed an oblique fracture and heterogeneous osteolytic and multiloculated images along the entire humerus. The biopsy resulted in hydatid cysts. Oncological resection of the humerus and total replacement of the same with a non-conventional prosthesis designed for the patient was performed.
conclusionTotal humerus hydatidosis is infrequent, and there is scarce information about its treatment. The local resection plus graft and osteosynthesis conserving the bone has shown complications and recurrences. For healing, a radical procedure is necessary. Although functional results may be limited.
