Bilateral lung infiltration secondary to ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundPulmonary hydatid cyst rupture is a rare but serious complication of Echinococcus granulosus infection, often presenting with acute respiratory distress and mimicking pneumonia or eosinophilic lung disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old Persian woman presented with sudden-onset dyspnea, productive cough, and high-grade fever. Imaging revealed a multilayered cyst in the left lung with bilateral infiltrations. Serologic testing confirmed Echinococcus granulosus infection. The patient was treated with antibiotics and albendazole, followed by surgical cyst resection after 6 months. She remained asymptomatic 1 year postoperatively.
conclusionRuptured pulmonary hydatid cysts can mimic severe lung infections. A combination of imaging, serology, and medical-surgical management ensures optimal outcomes, especially in endemic regions.
