Laparoscopic procedure versus conventional cystectomy for pediatric hepatic cystic echinococcosis:a controlled clinical study.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 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
objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery in treatment of pediatric hepatic cystic echinococcosis(HCE).
methodsThe clinical data of 78 children with HCE infection who were treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between April 2016 and September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort comprised 52 males and 26 females. The age range of the subjects is from 2 to 15 years old. The children were divided into 2 groups according to the surgical methods employed: the laparoscopic group comprised 38 children who had undergone laparoscopic surgery, while the conventional group consisted of 40 children who had been treated with conventional surgery. A comparative analysis of the clinical data was conducted between those groups, encompassing baseline data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, Postoperative I-feed score, facial visual analogue scale (f-VAS) 8 h after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, residual cavity infection rate, incidence of biliary leakage, incidence of postoperative hypernatremia, incidence of residual fluid, incidence of residual cavity infections and recurrence rate.
resultsNo significant differences were observed in the baseline data, operation time, residual effusion rate, residual infection rate, postoperative hypernatremia rate, biliary leakage rate and recurrence rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, statistically significant differences were noted in intraoperative bleeding, Postoperative I-feed score, 8-h postoperative f-VAS score and postoperative length of hospital stay (P < 0.05).
