Type 2 Autoimmune Pancreatitis: A Challenge in the Differential Diagnosis of a Pancreatic Mass.
Article in GE Portuguese journal of gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionAutoimmune pancreatitis is a rare entity of unknown etiology that can mimic pancreatic cancer and whose diagnosis involves clinical, serological, imagiological, and histological findings. There are two types of autoimmune pancreatitis: type 1, in which the pancreas is involved as one part of a systemic immunoglobulin G4-related disease, and type 2, generally without immunoglobulin G4-positive cells and without systemic involvement. CASE: We report the case of a 45-year-old female, who underwent an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging for etiological study of a solid liver lesion, which revealed a tail pancreatic mass. Laboratory analyses showed normal levels of immunoglobulin G4 and negative antinuclear antibodies. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a homogeneous and hypoechogenic lesion in the pancreatic tail with a "sausage-like" appearance. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was inconclusive and the patient underwent a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis.
conclusionThis case highlights the challenge in the diagnostic approach of a pancreatic mass, particularly in distinguishing benign from malignant disease.
