Laparoscopic management of a Gharbi type II hepatic hydatid cyst after failed pair.
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
Hepatic hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, remains prevalent in endemic regions. Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment, although laparoscopic approaches have gained prominence in selected cases in the past decade. We present a case of a Gharbi-type II hepatic hydatid cyst successfully treated via laparoscopy. A 19-year-old man from a rural endemic area, presented with right upper quadrant pain. Imaging revealed a Gharbi type 2 hydatid cyst in the posterior segment VII of the liver. Laparoscopic evacuation of the cyst content was performed with strict preventive measures to avoid dissemination. The patient had a favorable outcome without complications. Laparoscopy offers a safe alternative for peripheral cysts without biliary communication and in experienced centers. Proper patient selection and technical proficiency are essential to minimize risks. This report highlights the feasibility of laparoscopic management of Gharbi type II cysts in carefully selected patients and illustrates the role of laparoscopy as a salvage strategy following failed PAIR.
