Hydatidosis with Atypical Localization: Report of Three Cases and Literature Review.
Review in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 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
Echinococcosis is a common parasitic disease with a heavy public health burden in many geographic regions and populations, mainly in the Mediterranean basin, Western China, Central Asia and South America. Most often, echinococcosis affects the liver and lungs. Despite being rare, other organ involvement may occur. We report three original cases of atypical localization of hydatid cysts from diagnosis to treatment to underline this disease's challenges. The affected organs are bone, heart, and brain. Thus, in endemic regions, hydatid cysts should be considered as a differential diagnosis of patients with cystic masses, even in unusual sites. These cases highlight the importance for clinicians to remain vigilant for atypical localizations of echinococcosis, emphasizing the need for early recognition and accurate diagnosis, even in uncommon sites.
