Computed tomography densitometry for discriminating between type 1 hydatid and simple hepatic cysts.

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
ObjectiveDifferentiation of simple and type 1 hepatic hydatid cysts is challenging because of their similar contents and radiological appearance. We aimed to compare the density values of simple and Type 1 hepatic hydatid cysts measured on computed tomography.MethodsPatients with histopathologically, serologically, or macroscopically confirmed Type 1 hydatid or simple hepatic cysts were included in the study. Mean density values, expressed in Hounsfield units, were measured on axial images of contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scans. The results of the two groups were compared using statistical analysis, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsA total of 51 Type 1 hydatid and 36 simple cysts were included in the study. The mean age of patients with hydatid cysts was significantly lower than that of patients with simple cysts (p = 0.015). The mean diameter of lesions in the hydatid group was significantly larger than that in the simple cyst group (p < 0.001
