Primary Hydatid Cyst of the Gluteal Muscle: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 disease, also known as cystic echinococcus, is a parasitic infection initiated by Echinococcus granulosus. It primarily affects the lungs and liver, but it can also occur in other organs. Hydatid cysts in the gluteal muscle are an exceedingly rare phenomenon, even in areas with high prevalence. We report the case of a 29-year-old farmer who presented with a painful mass in the gluteal region. The diagnostic findings unveiled the existence of a hydatid cyst within the gluteal muscle managed with complete pericystectomy and chemotherapy with antiparasitic drugs. In regions where hydatid cysts are prevalent, it is essential to include them in the list of potential diagnoses for any cystic mass. Diagnosing such cases can be difficult, and surgery remains the most effective treatment.
