Long-Term Results of Modified Catheterization Technique in the Treatment of CE Type 2 and 3b Liver Hydatid Cysts.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo evaluate the long-term results of modified catheterization technique (Mo-CAT) for percutaneous treatment of liver CE2/CE3b hydatid disease in a large series. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 119 patients (F/M:73/59) and 132 liver CE2 and CE3b cysts who underwent percutaneous treatment by Mo-CAT from 2009 to 2020 were included in the study. Patients' age ranges from 8 to 78 years (mean: 39 years). Volume changes of all cysts after the procedure, success and complication rates, duration of hospital stay, catheterization time and recurrence rates were recorded. Technical success was defined as successful catheter introduction into the CE. Clinical success was defined as cases with no mortality and no recurrence.
resultsAmong all patients, the mean reduction in the cyst volume was 65.84% (range 6.29-100%). The mean length of hospital stay was 3.88 ± 4.73 days (range 1-36 days). A total of 107 (89.9%) of 119 patients were discharged from the hospital in first the week after the procedure. Major complications were observed in 12 of 119 patients (10.08%) and 12 out of 132 cysts (9.09%). Recurrence was detected in 6 (4.5%) cysts in 6 patients (4.5%) who needed additional procedures. Among all 119 patients, the mean follow-up duration was 51.66 ± 35.56 months (median, 49.00 months; range 0-131 months).
conclusionsTreatment of liver CE2/3b with Mo-CAT appears to be a safe, reliable and efficient technique which is associated with low recurrence and complication rates.
