Successful management of a rare extensive hepatopulmonary hydatidosis with over 35 cysts: A case report and literature review.

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
introduction and importanceExtensive hepatopulmonary hydatidosis is a rare and challenging manifestation of Echinococcus granulosus infection in pediatric patients. It can lead to significant morbidity if not promptly recognized and appropriately managed. Early diagnosis and a staged multidisciplinary approach are essential to achieve favorable outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: An 8-year-old boy presented with weight loss, cough, and hepatomegaly. Imaging revealed over 35 hydatid cysts in the liver and both lungs. He underwent staged bilateral lung cyst excision using hybrid minimally invasive surgery, followed by PAIR procedures for liver cysts and albendazole therapy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with full resolution of lung cysts and significant reduction in hepatic cyst burden. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Extensive multi-organ hydatidosis in children is rare. Management depends on cyst location, number, and complications. Minimally invasive surgery combined with medical therapy is effective.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and staged multidisciplinary management in pediatric multiorgan hydatidosis.
