Primary Paraspinal Intramuscular Hydatid Cysts Mimicking a Soft Tissue Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 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
Primary intramuscular hydatid disease of the paraspinal muscles is exceptionally rare, particularly in the absence of hepatic or pulmonary involvement. Its nonspecific clinical and radiological features often mimic soft tissue tumors, creating diagnostic challenges for neurosurgeons practicing in endemic regions. A 22-year-old woman presented with a slowly enlarging, mildly painful right lumbar paraspinal mass without animal exposure or systemic symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion extending from L2 to L4 that lacked definitive hydatid features and could not be clearly distinguished from a synovial cyst, cystic schwannoma, abscess, or epidermoid cyst. Serology showed positive
