Right Ventricular Hydatid Cyst in a Young Adult: A Rare Case From the UAE.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundCystic echinococcosis, or hydatid cystic disease, is a globally prevalent zoonotic infection that typically affects the liver or lungs. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old man residing in the UAE presented with chronic hemoptysis, melena, and weight loss. Chest radiography revealed multiple bilateral lung nodules, and a subsequent surgical lung biopsy confirmed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, suggestive of a chronic inflammatory process. Although initially delayed, transthoracic echocardiography detected a cystic mass (2.4 × 2.0 cm) and a solid mass (1.0 × 0.9 cm) on the right ventricular free wall, with no impact on right ventricle function. Albendazole treatment was initiated based on positive hydatid serology, followed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and surgical excision of the cardiac masses. DISCUSSION: Cardiac involvement in cystic echinococcosis accounts for only 0.5% to 2% of cases, with right ventricular localization reported in approximately 10% of those. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of echinococcosis and underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation and individualized management, particularly in young adults.
