Gastric Heterotopic Pancreas Presenting as Abdominal Pain with Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis in the Resected Specimen.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Heterotopic pancreas, also known as ectopic pancreas, is pancreatic tissue located outside the pancreatic parenchyma without vascular or ductal communication with the gland. Ectopic pancreas is rarely symptomatic, typically detected incidentally at surgery or autopsy. Eighty-five to 90% are in the upper GI tract, especially the gastric antrum. We report a 54-year-old man with symptomatic gastric heterotopic pancreas presenting as recurrent, initially undiagnosed, abdominal pain. Surgery revealed heterotopic pancreas including excretory ducts, acini, and islet cells. Evidence of acute pancreatitis was present, marked by inflammation and abscess formation. Chronic pancreatitis was diagnosed by fibrosis and dilated ducts containing proteinaceous material. Submucosal location with normal overlying mucosa on endoscopy increases risks of delayed or missed diagnosis. Complications include GI bleeding, acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis, pseudocyst, gastric outlet obstruction, perforation, and, rarely, pancreatic carcinoma. This rare disorder mimics more common diseases. Low suspicion, nondiagnostic imaging or endoscopy contribute to frequent diagnostic delay.
