Primary pancreatic paraganglioma: a report of two cases and literature review.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Paraganglioma is a rare tumor of paraganglia, derived from neural crest cells in sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglions. Primary paraganglioma originating from the pancreas is rare. We report two patients with paraganglioma in the head of the pancreas, in whom computed tomography showed a sharply marginated, hypervascular tumor with cystic areas. Significant intratumoral vessels and early contrast filling of the draining veins from the mass were not found. Although the pancreatic paraganglioma was located at the pancreatic head, the bile ducts often revealed no dilation, and sometimes the main pancreatic duct was mildly dilated. These findings are helpful in differentiating pancreatic paraganglioma from other pancreatic neoplasms. It is often difficult to distinguish between nonfunctional pancreatic paragangliomas and pancreatic endocrine tumors. In many reports,pancreatic paragangliomas show the retroperitoneal extension of a paraganglioma into the pancreas rather than a true pancreatic neoplasm. In surgical treatment, we could select simple excision of the tumor rather than radical surgery.
