Different scenarios and management of complicated hepatic cystic echinococcosis: a case series.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic illness that primarily affects the liver. Antiparasitic therapy remains the primary treatment method. Surgical intervention includes open and laparoscopic surgery, with a focus on preserving liver functionality. Data from complicated CE cases, confirmed surgically, were retrieved and presented. Six patients were included: two had a history of CE (one underwent puncture, aspiration, injection, re-aspiration [PAIR], and the other underwent right hemi-hepatectomy). Among the cases, two presented with obstructive jaundice, three had exophytic lesions, one had a large, calcified lesion, one exerted a mass effect on the intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), one showed subcapsular extension, and the sixth case involved a large cyst that regressed with albendazole. In conclusion, although surgery remains the primary treatment for complicated hepatic CE, PAIR is preferred for uncomplicated cases. However, surgical challenges may be greater after PAIR.
