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

Echinococcosis is a re-emerging public health issue in developing countries as most communities are homes to dogs and other domesticated animals while cattle raising is a major habit of most sub-Saharan countries. The usual presentations include liver and lung cysts. While few documentations and publications have been made on extra-pulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts in other parts of the world, there has been no published document on extra-pulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts consisting of eighty or more cystic masses in a single patient in Ethiopia. We present a case of right sided extra-pulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts in a 20-year old Ethiopian male patient with compressive respiratory symptoms and significant social history of cohabiting with dogs throughout childhood. The patient was treated by surgery via a posterolateral thoracotomy and had a smooth Post-operative course and discharged home on postoperative day 15 on albendazole and analgesics. Intraoperative findings included approximately 1500 ml of cystic fluid, eighty cystic masses and collapsed lung.
