Spontaneous disseminated hydatidosis with uterine involvement in an 8-year-old child: a multidisciplinary approach.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
backgroundSpontaneous disseminated hydatidosis is a rare manifestation of Echinococcus tapeworm infection, especially in pediatric patients. This case report presents an unusual instance of multi-organ involvement in an 8-year-old Afghan girl living in Iran, a hydatid disease endemic region. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient presented with progressive abdominal distension, intermittent pain, nausea, and vomiting. Imaging revealed multiple hydatid cysts in the liver, peritoneal cavity, and uterus, suggesting disseminated disease without prior history of hydatidosis or exposure to definitive hosts. A multidisciplinary team performed an exploratory laparotomy, removing cysts from the liver, spleen, and uterus. Post-operative care included 12 months of Albendazole therapy to promote cyst shrinkage and reduce recurrence risk, with successful outcomes observed on follow-up.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of recognizing hydatid disease in endemic regions and the role of imaging and surgery in achieving good outcomes. This case also underscores the need for further research to elucidate the mechanisms behind such atypical presentations.
