Surgical management of hydatid cyst disease of the liver: An improvement from our previous experience?
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundHydatid liver disease remains an important issue in endemic areas, which may require immediate surgery. Although laparoscopic surgery is on the rise, the presence of certain complications may require conversion to the open approach.
aimTo compare the results of laparoscopic treatment and the open approach in the context of a 12-year single institution experience, and to perform a further comparison between results from the current study and those from a previous study.
methodsBetween January 2009 and December 2020, 247 patients underwent surgery for hydatic disease of the liver in our department. Of the 247 patients, 70 underwent laparoscopic treatment. A retrospective analysis between the two groups was performed, as well as a comparison between current and previous laparoscopic experience (1999-2008).
resultsThere were statistically significant differences between the laparoscopic and open approaches regarding the cyst dimension, location, and presence of cystobiliary fistula. There were no intraoperative complications in the laparoscopic group. The cutoff value for the cyst size regarding the presence of cystobiliary fistula was 6.85 cm (
conclusionLaparoscopic surgery still plays an important role in the treatment of hydatid disease of the liver, with an increase in its usage over the course of years that has shown benefits regarding the postoperative recovery with a decreased rate of intraoperative complications. Although experienced surgeons can perform laparoscopic surgery in the most difficult conditions, there are some selection criteria that need to be maintained for higher quality results.
