1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Echinococcosis is a helminthic infection caused by cestodes of the genus Case presentation: We report here a case of a bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 19-year-old female with endo-rupture of the cyst in the right upper lobe. The patient presented with a history of longstanding dry cough, fever, and chest pain. Clinical discussion: Diagnostic investigations revealed the nature and content of the cysts. Eventually, our patient underwent sequential surgical removal of the cysts using uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In pulmonary hydatid cyst, the infection usually manifests as a single isolated pulmonary hydatidosis, bilateral pulmonary hydatidosis is unfamiliar presentation. Conclusion: Bilateral pulmonary hydatidosis is not a common entity, even in endemic areas. VATS has been increasingly used to treat lung cysts with better outcomes.
