Allergic symptoms in hydatid cyst; common or rare?
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 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
objectiveHydatid cyst infections may follow a different course, ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening conditions. The rupture of a hydatid cyst can lead to a variety of allergic reactionsfromurticaria to anaphylactic shock. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and diversity of allergic symptoms in patients with hydatid cysts and to explore their relationship between clinical and laboratory findings.
methodsThis study included 106 patients diagnosed with hydatid cysts of the liverbetween January 2017 and February 2024.The demographic characteristics such as age, gender, clinical symptoms and laboratory results were recorded. The characteristics of patients with allergic symptoms were analyzedin addition to cyst rupture.
resultsThe median age of patients was 33 and 77% were male. Allergic symptoms were present in one out of every ten patients. Allergic symptoms were pruritus in 5 patients, acute urticaria in 2 patients, and anaphylaxis in 3 patients. Only 22% (n=23) of the patients had eosinophilia. The characteristics of ruptured and non-ruptured patients were compared and it was observed that hemoglobin level was lower and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level was higher in ruptured patients (p=0.032, p=0.015 respectively).
conclusionAlthough allergic symptoms are not very common in hydatid cysts, life-threatening events such as anaphylaxis may still occur. This risk should always be considered, especially in cysts at risk of rupture.
