Surgical Management of Cardiac Hydatid Cyst and the Residual Intramural Ectocyst.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The cardiac hydatid cyst (HC) is a rare pathology and mostly is endemic in livestock raising countries. Patients do not have a specific presentation so it is mainly a diagnosis based on imaging. Finding HC anywhere in the body warrants looking for another hydatid in other organs. This is a case report of a young male who presented with nonspecific symptoms and during diagnostic workup, it happened that he has combined hepatic and cardiac HCs. The cardiac cyst was located intramurally in the interventricular septum and expanding down mostly to the left side of the diaphragmatic surface of the heart and partly crossing intramurally to the diaphragmatic surface of the right ventricle. Emergency open-heart surgery was performed; the endocyst was removed while intramural ectocyst was drained to prevent potential future residual space.
