Primary pancreatic hydatid cyst: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundHydatid cysts are parasitic zoonoses that often occur in the liver. Pancreatic hydatid cysts are very rare and are usually misdiagnosed as pancreatic cystadenomas. At present, surgical resection combined with albendazole administration is the standard treatment for pancreatic hydatid cysts. However, making accurate preoperative diagnoses and avoiding intraoperative cystic rupture are challenges for surgeons. CASE PRESENTATION: A 28-year-old woman from the pastoral area presented to the surgical office complaining of abdominal pain and new-onset jaundice that began 9 days earlier. An enhanced computed tomography scan demonstrated a 6.0 × 5.3 cm pancreatic head cystic mass that compressed the common bile duct and induced choledochectasia. The preoperative diagnosis was pancreatic head cystadenoma, and laparotomic pancreaticoduodenectomy was initiated successfully. The intra- and postoperative diagnosis was pancreatic hydatid cyst. The patient was discharged uneventfully 7 days after the operation. A 1-year course of albendazole (15 mg/kg/day) was admitted.
conclusionPancreatic hydatid cysts are rare and often misdiagnosed as other types of cysts. History of living in an area in which the causative organism is endemic and positive anti-echinococcus IgG antibody status could help with the diagnosis. Radical resection combined with oral albendazole administration is the standard treatment for pancreatic hydatid cysts. Avoiding perioperative cystic rupture and abdominal echinococcosis implantation metastasis is crucial for the success of the operation.
