Acute peritonitis secondary to spontaneous rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst: A case report and literature review.
Article in IDCases, 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
Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts is a rare but serious complication that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality due to risks such as anaphylactic shock and secondary peritoneal hydatidosis. This report presents the case of a 59-year-old male farmer from a rural area of Tunisia who presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging revealed a large hepatic cyst with free peritoneal fluid, indicating a ruptured hydatid cyst. Emergency surgery involved cyst evacuation, peritoneal lavage, and drainage. Postoperatively, the patient developed a transient biliary fistula but recovered well with albendazole therapy to prevent recurrence. Six months post-surgery, the patient remains asymptomatic. The case underscores the importance of considering hydatid disease in acute abdomen diagnoses in endemic regions and highlights the critical role of imaging and timely surgical intervention. The literature review indicates variability in the prevalence of cyst rupture and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach combining surgery and antiparasitic treatment for effective management and recurrence prevention.
