A Primary Mesenteric Hydatid Cyst in an Adult Female Mimicking an Ovarian Cyst: The First Reported Case in Lebanon With Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic zoonosis caused by echinococcosis. Liver and lung are the two primarily affected organs. Primary mesenteric hydatid cyst is a rare event, and few cases have been reported globally. In this case report, we present the first documented case, to our knowledge, in Lebanon. The patient was a 49-year-old female who presented for acute worsening of a long-standing abdominal pain. The primary differential diagnosis was an ovarian cyst, for which urgent surgical excision was performed. Histopathological analysis showed a primary mesenteric hydatid cyst, thus providing the final diagnosis. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges that rare and atypical localizations of hydatid cysts present, and the importance of including echinococcosis in the differential diagnosis of abdominal cystic masses.
