Complications and management of patients with liver hydatid cyst: A single center experience.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aim: Hydatid cysts are caused by Materials and Methods: We included patients who were managed either by surgery or percutaneous drainage (PAIR) for hydatid liver cysts at Harran University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between January 2017 and February 2021. We recorded age, sex, segmental location, size, number, Gharbi classification, treatment modality, length of hospital stays, and complications. Results: We included a total of 209 patients who were managed by hydatid liver cysts. Among them, 74 post-procedural complications were developed in a total of 69 (33%) patients. Biliary fistula was the most prevalent complication (n=38,18.2%). Hospitalization duration was a median of 5 days (2-36) and was 5 days (2-36) in patients who underwent surgery and 3 days (range:2-7) in patients managed by PAIR. Patients with cyst diameter ≥9.5 cm were predicted to have an increased risk of complications with 70% sensitivity and 60% specificity. More patients experienced any difficulties in patients who were managed by PAIR than those who underwent surgery (65.4% vs 28.4%, p<0.001). Conclusion: Our study showed that both surgery and PAIR are safe and effective management strategies for patients with liver cyst hydatid. PAIR was associated with more complications but a shorter duration of hospitalization.
