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
introduction and importanceHydatid cyst of liver is a disease usually seen in endemic regions. Fistulization into duodenum is one of the most exceptional complications of the hydatid cyst commonly discovered during surgery. This paper aims to present and discuss a rare case of cyst ruptured into the duodenum. This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria 2020. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old female patient, previously diagnosed with hydatid cyst of liver with deferred care due to the period of COVID 19 containment, presented with the complaints of abdominal pain and fever. Abdominal CT scan showed up a 2 cm multiseptal hydatid cyst in the segment III of the liver with an exovesiculation of 20 cm, communicating with the first duodenum. The patient underwent antrectomy involving the first duodenum and removing the cystoduodenal fistula with a Roux-en-Y anastomosis. She was discharged with full recovery on the postoperative 5th day. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Clinical features of hydatid cyst fistulized into the duodenum are non-specific. There are two pathognomonic symptoms, hydatidemesis and hydatidenteria.Typically, cysto-duodenal fistula is intra-operatively discovered. The CT scan is the most used morphological examination. The presence of air in the cyst should alert for the gastrointestinal fistula formation. Surgical strategies to perform should be tailored to every patient and to intra operative findings. The post-operative morbidity and mortality are underestimated in the literature.
conclusionThe fistulization of Hydatid cyst into the duodenum should be evoked in front of any acute abdominal pain whether or not associated with hydatidemesis or hydatidenteria.
