Evaluating Giant Hydatid Cysts: Factors Affecting Mortality and Morbidity.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2021. 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors affecting morbidity and mortality among patients who underwent surgery for giant pulmonary hydatid cysts in our center.
methodsData from 283 patients who underwent surgery in our center for pulmonary hydatid cyst between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Cysts 10 cm in diameter or larger were considered giant hydatid cysts.
resultsThere were 145 women (51.2%) and 138 men (48.8%). Giant cyst (≥10 cm) was present in 57 patients (20.1%), while the other 226 patients (79.9%) had cysts smaller than 10 cm. Operations were performed using videothoracoscopic approach in 68 patients (24%) and with thoracotomy in 215 patients (76%). Hydatid cysts were on the left side in 129 patients (45.6%), on the right side in 143 patients (50.5%), and bilateral in 11 patients (3.9%). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 29 patients (10.2%). Use of videothoracoscopic surgical approach did not affect morbidity. The mortality rate within the first 90 days was 0.35% (n = 1).
conclusionGiant cysts are more common in the young age group than in older adults. Regardless of cyst size, surgery should be performed as soon as possible after diagnosis to avoid potential complications.
