The many faces of pediatric hydatid disease: a pictorial review.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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, caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus species, poses a significant public health challenge, especially in resource-limited cattle-producing areas of South America. The number of cases in children under the age of 15 is nearly 16% of the total cases in South America according to the latest report of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The presentation of the disease depends on the anatomic location and correlates with the parasitic life stage. The liver is the most commonly affected organ in children, followed by the lungs, kidney, bone, and brain. The classification of hydatid cysts varies based on the parasite's stage, from purely cystic lesions to solid masses. The radiological approach varies by cyst location. Clinically, hydatid disease symptoms are nonspecific and organ-dependent, with imaging playing a crucial role in diagnosis. Complications include cyst rupture and superinfection, with potential severe consequences. This pictorial essay aims to illustrate the manifestations of hydatid cysts in an endemic population and highlight atypical signs for radiologists evaluating pediatric cysts in endemic regions.
