Giant cerebral hydatid cyst with intraventricular extension: A rare case report with imaging findings.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 cyst is the condition caused by larvae of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, usually involving the liver, lung, and spleen. Involvement of the cerebrum with a hydatid cyst is a rare entity, comprising 2%-3% of all cases of hydatidosis. Intraventricular extension of cerebral hydatid cysts occurs in only a limited percentage of cases. Cerebral hydatid cysts can present with nonspecific symptoms, usually with features of raised intracranial pressure. Therefore, it is crucial to consider cerebral hydatid cysts as a potential diagnosis, especially in pediatric patients with nonspecific neurological symptoms, particularly those from areas endemic to the parasite. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with progressive headache and vomiting, with imaging findings suggestive of a giant hydatid cyst in the brain. She was managed surgically with a good outcome.
