Solitary Hydatid Cysts of the Body: Analysis of 1303 Cases.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate solitary hydatid cysts occurring in various anatomical locations.
methodsA retrospective single-center analysis was conducted on 1303 consecutive cases of solitary hydatid cysts identified across different body regions between 2015 and 2024.
resultsSolitary hydatid cysts accounted for 67.7% (1303/1926) of all treated cases. Among the 1303 patients, 609 (46.7%) were male and 694 (53.3%) were female. The mean age was 35.3 ± 20.4 years, with a range from 2 to 87 years. Among pediatric cases, 153 (43.6%) were female and 198 (56.4%) were male, whereas among adults, 541 (56.8%) were female and 411 (43.2%) were male (P < .01). Cyst localization was predominantly hepatic (969 cases, 74.3%), followed by pulmonary (250 cases, 19.1%). Other sites included the spleen (21 cases, 1.6%), muscle tissue (14 cases, 1.1%), kidneys (11 cases, 0.8%), bones (10 cases, 0.8%), intracranial areas (8 cases, 0.6%), cardiac regions (6 cases, 0.5%), mediastinum (3 cases, 0.2%), pelvic space (3 cases, 0.2%), subcutaneous and soft tissue (3 cases, 0.2%), omentum (3 cases, 0.2%), diaphragm (1 case, 0.1%), and pancreas (1 case, 0.1%). The mean diameter of hydatid cysts was 72.5 ± 33.2 mm (range: 10-230 mm). Surgical intervention was the primary treatment across all cases; however, medical therapy was more frequently selected for cysts located in the liver and spleen than in other anatomical regions.
conclusionSolitary hydatid cysts typically affect the liver and lungs but may arise in any location. Surgery remains the primary treatment across all sites.
