Disseminated cystic echinococcosis presenting as orbital swelling in a child - case report and literature review.
Review in Infection, 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
backgroundCystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic disease that commonly affects the liver and lungs. Orbital involvement is an unusual presentation, particularly in non-endemic areas, and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. CASE PRESENTATION AND LITERATURE REVIEW: We report the case of a five-year-old girl from Syria who presented with orbital swelling and was ultimately diagnosed with disseminated CE. The diagnosis was delayed, and management was complicated by intraoperative cyst rupture and spillage. Surgical resection combined with antiparasitic therapy resulted in regression of the cysts. A scoping review of the literature identified 15 reports of orbital CE in children, most of them from endemic countries.
conclusionCE should be considered in children presenting with cystic lesions and a history of migration from endemic areas. Early involvement of a CE reference center is essential to prevent complications and to optimize management.
