Treatment of a Large Gluteal Hydatid Cyst in Syria Using a Manual Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Device (PragmaVAC).
Article in Avicenna journal of medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The lungs and liver are the most common sites of hydatid cysts, but they may also be found in other organs. We report the case of a lady in her 50s who presented to a hospital in northwest Syria with a large swelling in the right gluteal region. This was diagnosed as a gluteal abscess, and an incision and drainage were performed. Intraoperatively, a hydatid cyst germinal membrane was noted. She had the required imaging to exclude other cysts, which revealed a liver hydatid cyst of 7.5 cm, which was treated with PAIR (puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration) and albendazole. The residual wound was closed using a manual vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) pump for seven days. A key lesson is that a hydatid cyst in the gluteal muscles, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We also show that the innovative use of a manual VAC pump can be used to support closure of large hydatid cyst cavities in muscles.
