A rare case of pancreatic head hydatid cyst.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hydatidosis or Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Primary isolated pancreatic hydatidosis is very rare even in countries where echinococcosis disease is highly endemic. The objective of this case report is to highlight this unusual and rare hydatid cyst presentation to avoid incorrect diagnosis and management. In our case, preoperative evaluation guided the diagnosis toward cystic pancreatic neoplasms, leading us to contemplate a radical surgical approach (Pancreaticoduodenectomy). Pancreatic hydatid cysts can be confused with cystic pancreatic neoplasms, it should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in endemic areas, to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate management.
