A single giant frontoparietal intraaxial hydatid cyst in a 5-year-old female: a case report and review of literature.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Echinococcus larval stage or a hydatid cyst, a parasitic disease that passes from animals to humans. Echinococcus granulosus and, less commonly, Echinococcus multilocularis species cause the disease. Intracranial echinococcosis is rare, with an incidence of approximately 1%-2%. Primary and secondary intracranial hydatid cysts can be found. A primary one, the most common type, is always solitary. CT and MRI have significantly contributed to the accurate diagnosis of hydatids. Surgical removal of the cyst is the treatment of choice, resulting in most cases in a complete recovery. In this report, we aim to emphasize the presentation of such an isolated primary cerebral hydatid cyst in a 5-year-old girl with neurological symptoms of a space-occupying lesion. Radiology revealed a giant left frontoparietal hydatid cyst. A cerebral hydatid cyst was operated on. The patient showed an uneventful recovery and was discharged. There was no recurrence at follow-up.
