Difficulties in diagnosing the alveolar echinococcosis (case report).
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionAlveolar echinococcosis is dangerous parasitic zoonose with the large endemic area. This disease has a high prevalence in Kazakhstan. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report on a 45-year woman suffering from alveolar echinococcosis with a huge cystic mass and difficulty of differential diagnosis. She was hospitalized for surgery with primary diagnosis of hydatid disease. The liver carcinoma was suspected during surgery due to the huge size and structure of the mass. This mass was totally removed. The alveolar echinococcosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. DISCUSSION: Essential features of this case are the large size of the lesion with a dense consistency and the germination of blood vessels, which unusual for alveolar echinococcosis. Total resection and Albendazole therapy was successful for patient, she didn't have a relapse during the follow-up examination.
conclusionThis report may provide new aspects of visualization of alveolar echinococcosis and highlight the necessity for the upgrade of the diagnosis tactic.
