Cardiac hydatid cyst in the right ventricle - A rare case report of echinococcosis presentation.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionThe hydatid cyst (HC) of the right ventricle (RV) is an extremely uncommon and a serious location that can cause sudden death following pulmonary embolism, obstruction of the valvular orifice or anaphylactic shock. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 14 years-old girl with a HC of the RV. Surgical excision of the HC under Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was successful in managing this rare case. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Cardiac HC is extremely rare. It represents only 0.5-2% of all hydatid cases. However, RV location is very severe. It has a tendency to rupture intracavitarily and causes sudden death in 30% of cases. Its diagnosis is based on echocardiography, computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The surgical treatment under CPB with anthelmintic therapy seems to improve the prognostic outcomes.
conclusionCardiac HC must be always suspected in endemic countries, especially in patients with a family history of HC.
