Hospital-based retrospective analysis of 224 surgical cases of lung hydatid cyst from southern Iran.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe lungs are considered the second-most frequent location for hydatid cyst in human. The current retrospective hospital-based study aimed to assess the epidemiological data, clinical presentation, and treatment outcomes of lung hydatid cyst in patients who underwent surgery for this disease in Fars province, southern Iran.
methodsIn this retrospective study, hospital records of 224 pulmonary hydatid cyst patients were assessed in two main university-affiliated hospitals in Fars Province, southern Iran. Clinical features of patients, epidemiological data, cyst features, surgical interventions, and treatment outcomes were reviewed and analyzed.
resultsA total of 224 hydatid cyst cases of the lung were reviewed. Male patients accounted for the majority of cases (60.4%). The average age of the patients was 31.13 (± 19.6), ranging from 2 to 94 years old. Of the 224 patients, 145 (75.9%) cases had only one single cyst and mostly 110 (53.9%) located in the right lung. Also, 6 (2.9%) cases had cysts in both lungs. The lower lobe of the lungs was the most common location of the hydatid cyst. The average size of lung hydatid cyst was 7.37 cm (SD = 3.86; rang: 2-24) while for the cyst areas was 42.87cm
conclusionsLung hydatid cyst is a common infection in southern Iran. Lung preserving surgery is the method of choice for the management of hydatid cyst. Relapse, which was not uncommon in our study, is a challenging feature of hydatid cyst management.
