1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Human hydatidosis is a parasitic infection by the larval stages of the Echinococcus (E.) that rarely occurs in pregnancy (1/20, 000-30 000). Canines are the definitive host while humans are the accidental host. They most often affect the liver (60%) and lungs (30%). E. granulosus causes cystic echinococcosis and is the most frequent form. E. multilocularis causes alveolar echinococcosis and is becoming increasingly more common. E. infections often remain asymptomatic for years before the cysts grow large enough to cause symptoms. Hepatic and pulmonary signs and symptoms are the most common clinical manifestations. There is no consensus on their management in pregnancy. We report two pregnancies complicated by hydatid disease of the liver and lung, discuss their problematic management, and review the recent literature.
