Hydatid cyst in the hip joint of a young patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundHydatid disease, or cystic echinococcosis, is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, predominantly affecting the liver and lungs. Musculoskeletal involvement is rare, comprising only 0.5-4% of cases, with even fewer reports of cysts in joints. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old Yemeni female of Arab ethnicity was referred to a military hospital in Sanaa after presenting with septic right hip pain for over 6 months. Imaging studies revealed narrowing of the right joint space, irregularities of the femoral head and acetabulum, and slight thinning of the right femoral head articular chondral surface. Open diagnostic surgery was performed, revealing fluid-filled sacs (hydatid cysts). After 4 months of follow-up, the patient's gait improved, and the Trendelenburg test was negative. Laboratory investigations were normal, and the X-ray showed improvements in the irregularities of the femoral head and acetabulum.
conclusionAlthough uncommon, hydatid disease affecting the hip joint should be considered when diagnosing hip-related conditions, such as tuberculosis. Surgical removal and cleaning of the hip joints yield favorable functional outcomes.
