Gangliocytic paraganglioma treated with ampullectomy, A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGangliocytic paragangliomas are rare, and typically benign neuroendocrine neoplasms usually found in the second portion of the duodenum. Though recurrence is rare, metastatic cases have been noted. A standardized treatment has not been determined. An endoscopic resection can be carried out, unless metastasis has been noted. We present the case of a patient who underwent an ampullectomy, with successful removal of the tumor, and no recurrence on follow-up. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case involving a 58-year-old gentleman, who presented with dysphagia, and ultimately diagnosed with a periampullary mass proven to be a gangliocytic paraganglioma. The tumor was resected in-toto via an ampullectomy. The patient had no recurrence after twenty-one months.
conclusionIn conclusion, we present the case of an incidental gangliocytic paraganglioma occurring in the periampullary region of the patient. Ampullectomy was carried out and to date the patient has had no recurrence. Rarity of this tumor, along with treatment choice, makes it especially worthy of notability.
