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

Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare manifestation of Echinococcus infection, affecting 0.5-2% of the patients. Since it may be a life-threatening condition, surgical treatment should be always considered. Herein, here we present a case of a 66-year-old male with chest pain. Subsequent exams confirmed the diagnosis of multiple cardiac hydatic cysts. The patient initiated treatment with albendazole and was submitted to a surgical resection with cardiopulmonary bypass. A complete surgical resection was achieved, and patient remains asymptomatic without disease signs of recurrence on imaging exams. We highlight the necessity of cardiac screening in echinococcosis cases and the surgical management in this case.
