Hydatid Cyst of the Right Atrium With Hepatic and Pulmonary Involvement and Concomitant Pulmonary Embolism, Presenting With Massive Haemoptysis: A Case Report.

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
Hydatid cyst disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, primarily affects the liver and lungs, while cardiac involvement, especially the right atrium (RA), is extremely rare. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with massive haemoptysis and hypoxemia. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a large multicystic mass occupying the RA cavity, adherent to the atrial wall and interatrial septum, strongly suggestive of a hydatid cyst. Chest computed tomography angiography confirmed multiple pulmonary cystic lesions, intravascular filling defects consistent with pulmonary embolism, and a large hepatic hydatid cyst (5 × 4 cm). Serological testing for echinococcosis was positive. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the RA cyst and pulmonary embolectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. This case illustrates the rare presentation of an RA hydatid cyst with multiorgan involvement and associated pulmonary embolism, emphasizing the critical role of comprehensive imaging and timely surgical intervention in the management of complex echinococcosis.
