1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diagnosis and treatment of liver hydatid cysts may be challenging. Many surgical techniques have been proposed for the treatment of liver hydatid cysts, but the problem of the residual cavity still remains controversial and challenging, especially in giant liver hydatid cysts which are rare entities that have not been widely described in the literature so far. Capitonnage, external tube drainage and omentoplasty are the most commonly used techniques. Herein, we report the case of a 70-year-old man with a mild upper quadrant pain that proved to have a giant liver hydatid cyst, 21*14 cm
