Pancreatic hamartoma, a rare benign disease of the pancreas: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Pancreatic hamartoma is an extremely rare, non-neoplastic, mass-forming lesion that may be mistaken for malignancy, and the pre-operative diagnosis is particularly challenging. The published literature contains only 23 cases of pancreatic hamartoma. The majority of the cases reported patients with a single benign tumor-like disease that received a pancreatectomy. Immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis following surgery. The current study reports the case of a 53-year-old female who presented to the Department of Abdominal Surgery, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Cancer Hospital (Beijing, China), due to abdominal pain. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 22×14-mm mass in the head of the pancreas. The patient was pre-operatively diagnosed with a pancreatic space-occupying lesion, and subsequently underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy. The post-operative course was uneventful. Histological examination of the resected lesion resulted in a diagnosis of pancreatic hamartoma. There were no signs of recurrence at 55 months post-surgery.
