Acute abdomen due to rupture of a hydatid cyst of the liver: a rare complication - a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 cyst is a parasitic disease that is transmitted from animals to humans caused by the larval stage Case presentation: A 19-year-old male presented with an acute abdomen for 12 h. After clinical assessment, contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a rupture of the anterior wall of the hepatic hydatid cyst with intra-abdominal and pelvic dissemination. Exploratory laparotomy was performed with the evacuation of the daughter cyst and peritoneal lavage. The patient recovered well and was discharged with albendazole therapy. Clinical discussion: Hydatid cyst rupture is a rare but serious complication. Computed tomography has high sensitivity in demonstrating cyst rupture. The patient underwent laparotomy, where disseminated cysts were evacuated, and the anterior wall of the cyst was deroofed, along with the removal of a ruptured laminated membrane. Emergency surgery plus albendazole therapy are recommended protocols for cases like ours. Conclusions: A patient from an endemic region with acute presentation of right upper quadrant pain can have spontaneously ruptured hydatidosis as a differential diagnosis. Intraperitoneal rupture and dissemination of hydatid cysts of the liver can be life-threatening if intervention is delayed. Immediate surgery is life-saving and prevents complications.
