Acute rupture of a huge liver hydatid cysts in the peritoneal cavity causing an anaphylactic shock: A case report.

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
The rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts into the peritoneal cavity is an uncommon but life-threatening condition that can result in complications such as peritonitis and anaphylactic shock. This report describes the case of a 39-year-old diabetic male who presented with acute epigastric pain, fever (39°C), and abdominal rigidity. Imaging studies revealed pneumoperitoneum and the rupture of a large hepatic hydatid cyst measuring 20 × 30 cm located in the right lobe of the liver. Emergency laparotomy confirmed the rupture, and surgical management involved peritoneal lavage and initiation of antiparasitic therapy. The patient recovered fully and was discharged 23 days after surgery. Rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts occurs in only 1%-2% of cases and is often associated with large cyst size (>10 cm) and superficial location. Early imaging, particularly with CT, is crucial for diagnosis, while surgical intervention aims to manage the rupture, prevent further complications, and address residual cysts. This case highlights the significance of prompt diagnosis and management to avoid severe outcomes such as secondary peritoneal hydatidosis and anaphylactic shock.
