Cystic Echinococcosis Cases: A Retrospective Evaluation in a General Surgery Department.
Article in Infectious diseases & clinical microbiology, 2024. 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
Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by the larval stage of the Materials and Methods: We analyzed laboratory and radiological findings alongside clinical and demographic features, treatments, and outcomes of cases undergoing surgical treatment for abdominal cystic echinococcosis in our department between 2012 and 2022. Results: Among the 37 cases reviewed, the mean age was 45.59±7.1 years, and 19 (51.35%) were female. While the majority (54.05%) were from urban districts, only 37.84% were involved in animal husbandry and agriculture. Most common complaint was abdominal pain (67.57%), with an average symptom duration of 4.3±1.02 months. The diagnosis was confirmed by visualization of the cuticular membrane through pathological examination. Conclusion: Abdominal pain was the primary presenting symptom; radiology is valuable in diagnosis. Occupation in agriculture or animal husbandry is not the main risk factor in our region. Surgical interventions have favorable outcomes with low recurrence rates, particularly laparoscopic pericystectomy.
