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

Hydatid disease is an indolent parasitic infection by a microorganism, echinococcosis granulosis. The disease can infect almost any human organ but is exceedingly rare involving the mediastinum and the heart. It can be lethal if complications occur. CT scan is the modality of choice for the diagnosis of the disease. The coverage of cardiac structures in the abdominal CT scan survey may be helpful for the detection of possible cardio-mediastinal hydatid disease. The authors present a case of hydatid cyst in the left ventricular wall alongside hepatic hydatid cysts. The definitive treatment includes surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass and needs to be treated as soon as it is diagnosed to prevent lethal complications.
