Transdiaphragmatic rupture of a calcified hepatic hydatid cyst into the bronchial tree: CT findings of a bronchobiliary fistula.

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
Transdiaphragmatic rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts into the bronchial tree is a rare but severe complication that may mimic pulmonary infection. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with fever, dyspnea, and right thoracic pain, with initial CT findings suggestive of pneumonia and pleural effusion. Despite antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage, clinical deterioration persisted. Bronchoscopy revealed biliary secretions, and thoracoabdominal CT demonstrated a calcified hepatic hydatid cyst communicating with the right lower lobe bronchial tree through a diaphragmatic defect, establishing the diagnosis of a bronchobiliary fistula. This case highlights the crucial role of thoracoabdominal CT in identifying the hepatic origin of refractory pulmonary disease and in demonstrating the fistulous tract, which is essential for surgical planning.
