Spinal hydatid disease with epidural extension and spinal cord compression: A radiology case report.
Article in Radiology 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
Spinal hydatid disease is rare, destructive parasitic infection of the spine. The disease often presents with nonspecific symptoms. that overlaps with spinal tuberculosis, pyogenic infection, and metastatic malignancy. We report a case of 65-year-old man with thoracic spine involvement of Hydatid disease. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated destructive vertebral disease with a characteristic cystic morphology. The imaging pattern favoured hydatid cyst as the most likely diagnosis. Correlation with epidemiologic history and serology was used to confirm the diagnosis and guide management. Due to neurological deficit and epidural spinal canal involvement, the patient underwent surgical decompression and cyst excision, followed by antiparasitic therapy. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the typical magnetic resonance imaging appearance of spinal hydatid disease to enable timely multidisciplinary management and prevention of severe complications including accidental surgical rupture leading to anaphylaxis.
