A rare location of cardio hydatid cyst with multiple organ involvement: a case report.

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
Cardiac cysts in hydatid cysts, a parasitic disease, are extremely rare, and left-atrial hydatid cysts are even more unusual. Therefore, the authors report herein a rare case of a hydatid cyst in the left atrium. According to them, this is the third documented case of left-atrial hydatid cysts. Presentation of Case: A 25-year-old male presented at the outpatient clinic with atypical chest pain, hacking cough, dyspnoea, nausea, and vomiting for 2 months. Echocardiography showed a left-atrial unilocular, well-delineated mass. The authors also found multiple liver cysts and spleen cysts. Discussion: The widespread distribution of the disease in our regions, the dog contact story of the patient, and the appearance on echocardiograms were strong reasons to diagnose a hydatid cyst in the left atrium, which may cause many symptoms (bundle branch conduction, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction) or unexpected death. Conclusions: The authors aimed to report this case due to the disease's high probability of death, even asymptomatic patients with cardiac hydatid disease should all be referred for early surgery.
