A Pancreatic Hydatid Cysts Causing Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis Mimicking a Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease, mainly prevalent in endemic countries. The liver and lungs are the most commonly affected organs in hydatid disease. Primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas is rare, and pancreatitis due to hydatid cyst has rarely been listed in the literature. Hydatid cyst of the pancreas is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. It can be misdiagnosed as a pseudocyst of the pancreas. We report the case of a 32-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis. Following preoperative imaging, the primary impression was a pancreatic pseudocyst. On further evaluation with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) and hydatid serology, she was diagnosed with a pancreatic hydatid cyst. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy was performed. In literature, pancreatic hydatid cysts were mainly treated with a traditional open surgical approach. A minimally invasive surgical approach is evolving as an option in selected cases of pancreatic hydatid cysts.
