Primary Hydatid Cyst of Neck Misdiagnosed as Lipoma: A Rare Case Report From Nepal.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 disease, caused by Echinococcus tapeworm infection, presents a significant health concern, particularly in low and middle-income countries. This zoonotic disease predominantly affects the liver and lungs but can occur in various locations throughout the body. Here, we report a rare case of a 10-year-old girl with a hydatid cyst in the nape of her neck. Initially misdiagnosed as a lipoma on clinical examination, ultrasonography revealed the cystic nature of the mass, and histopathological examination done after surgery confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of considering hydatid cysts in the differential diagnosis of neck masses among pediatric patients in endemic regions to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
