A Diagnostic Dilemma in Hepatic Cystic Lesions: Radiological Mimicry of Biliary Cystadenoma and Hydatid Cyst in a Histologically Confirmed Simple Hepatic Cyst.
Article in Clinical 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
Hepatic cystic lesions pose diagnostic challenges due to overlapping imaging features, as simple hepatic cysts may mimic biliary cystadenoma or hydatid cysts. We report a 43-year-old female with chronic right lower abdominal pain, initially diagnosed with hydatid cyst on ultrasonography and later suspected as biliary cystadenoma on CT and MRI. She underwent laparotomy with cyst excision and cholecystectomy, but histopathology confirmed a simple hepatic cyst. This case highlights the limitations of radiology in differentiating hepatic cystic lesions, the crucial role of histopathology-particularly the absence of ovarian-like stroma-in establishing diagnosis, and the importance of imaging-pathology correlation for accurate management and avoiding inappropriate treatment.
