Hydatidosis: A Rare Case of Multi-organ Involvement.
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
Echinococcus granulosus is the tapeworm that causes hydatidosis. The liver is the most frequently impacted region, although it can also affect the spleen, lung, and peritoneum. Dogs are the definite hosts, whereas humans are the unintentional accidental hosts. The peritoneum is an unusual site for hydatid cysts. We report the case of a 42-year-old male who had abdominal distension. A CT scan revealed hydatid cysts in the liver, spleen, and peritoneum. The patient was managed conservatively with albendazole and advised for surgical intervention and removal of daughter cysts. This case highlights the uncommon presentation of hydatid disease involving multiple intra-abdominal organs concurrently. The successful management of such cases necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and comprehensive treatment strategies. Furthermore, this case emphasizes the importance of clinical suspicion in endemic regions to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.
