A novel minimally invasive approach for hepatic hydatid cyst - Percutaneous aspiration injection reaspiration using 5-mm laparoscopic trocar.

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
abstractHepatic hydatid cysts are traditionally managed with antihelminthic coverage and definitively by surgical methods or Percutaneous Aspiration Injection Reaspiration (PAIR). Surgical methods of management include laparoscopic or open techniques like excision or pericystectomy, marsupialisation, omentoplasty or partial hepatectomy. In thick walled, intraparenchymal and posteriorly situated hydatid cysts which are not amenable to conventional PAIR or laparoscopic techniques, our modification of PAIR can be useful. Under USG guidance, 5mm laparoscopic trocars are inserted into the cyst and aspiration, injection of scolicidal agent and reaspiration is done using a laparoscopic suction cannula. Drain is left in situ to ensure complete drainage. This modification of PAIR is suitable for a subset of patients who can benefit from this minimally invasive method. This prevents them from undergoing open surgery which is associated with a lot of morbidity.
