Recurrent Spinal Hydatid Cyst: A Histopathologic Case Report.
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 is a parasitic infection that primarily affects the liver and lungs, but spinal involvement is very rare. We report a case of recurrent primary vertebral and paravertebral hydatid cysts and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this condition. A 48-year-old woman with a history of spinal hydatidosis resection involving the T2 to T7 and T11 to the distal lumbar spine 8 years earlier presented with mid-back pain and intermittent fever. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed two masses, measuring 21 mm and 22 mm, located at the anterolateral border of the T3 vertebral body and in the adjacent soft tissues. The patient underwent spinal revision surgery, and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cysts. Since spinal hydatidosis is associated with high morbidity and is often misdiagnosed, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal cystic lesions, particularly in regions endemic for echinococcosis.
