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

purposeThe aim of the present study is to describe the cavity-reducing internal capitonnage technique that we used for the surgical therapy of liver hydatid cyst, and contribute to the literature by presenting the short- and long-term outcomes of the patients who were operated on with this technique.

methodsA drainage and internal capitonnage technique was performed on 12 cases due to liver hydatid cyst in our clinic between January 2016 and December 2019.

resultsThe mean age of cases was 36.25 ± 12.5 years, with 7 females and 5 males. All cases had pain in the right upper quadrant, and a sense of fullness in 5 cases. None of the cases had ruptured cysts, jaundice, or other clinical manifestations. The preoperative laboratory findings were normal in 8 cases. Intraoperative biliary-cyst communication was demonstrated in 8 cases (66.7%). Cases were followed up for a mean duration of 38.1 months (range, 24-88 months).

conclusionThe drainage/internal capitonnage with/without selective bile duct repair is a technique that can be performed with very low morbidity and mortality rates in experienced hands, especially for centrally located hydatid cysts.
