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

Hepatic hydatid cysts are an example of a zoonosis with global distribution, but with endemic characteristics in certain geographic areas. Known since ancient times, this parasitic infection predominantly affecting the liver and lungs remains a challenge today in terms of diagnosis and the pharmacological, radiological, endoscopic, or surgical therapy. This study analyzed the complications associated with different procedures for treating hydatid cysts in 76 patients admitted to the County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu. Complications occurred in 18 patients (23.7%), with no significant correlation to age, gender, or residency (urban or rural). Patients undergoing open surgery exhibited the highest complication rate (61.1%) compared to those treated with other procedures. The most frequent complication was biliary duct rupture, occurring in 22.7% of cases. Our findings indicate that the presence of complications significantly prolongs hospitalization time [t df (75) = 12.14,
