Two cases of typical left ventricular cardiac echinococcosis: a retrospective review with literature synthesis.
Review in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
Echinococcus granulosus is a cestode parasite responsible for zoonotic hydatid disease. Humans acquire the infection by ingesting water or food contaminated with viable eggs, thereby serving as intermediate hosts. Although the liver and lungs are the organs most frequently involved, cardiac involvement is rare and often clinically silent. The majority of patients seek medical attention due to symptoms of organ compression. At present, the standard management combines surgical removal with perioperative antiparasitic chemotherapy. Here we report two illustrative cases of cardiac echinococcosis involving the left ventricular wall and integrate them with previously published data to provide a comprehensive review of the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac echinococcosis. This review summarizes the key points throughout the entire treatment process of cardiac echinococcosis.
