A Rare Case of Isolated Psoas Muscle Echinococcal Cyst.
Article in Cureus, 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 rare zoonotic parasitic disease characterized by space-occupying lesions in affected organs. Most of the cases involve the liver, while muscular invasion is relatively uncommon. The disease is typically asymptomatic in early stages and often detected only when cyst enlargement causes compression of adjacent organs or rupture. We present a case of a 36-year-old male pastoralist (with cattle/sheep exposure) with intermittent right flank pain as the presenting symptom. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) revealed two thin-walled cystic lesions within the right iliopsoas muscle. Serological testing by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confirmed specific IgG antibodies against
