Diffuse Pancreatic Cancer Mimicking Autoimmune Pancreatitis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The characteristic finding of sausage-shaped pancreas or capsule-like rim facilitates the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis. We herein report a case of a 67-year-old man showing a sausage-shaped, enlarged pancreas with a capsule-like rim on computed tomography. Furthermore, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography demonstrated diffuse narrowing of the main pancreatic duct, in addition to stenosis of the lower bile duct. Finally, we were able to diagnose pancreatic cancer in this patient by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy following peroral cholangioscopy and bile cytology. This report emphasizes the significance of pathological confirmation before starting treatment, even in cases with diffuse pancreatic enlargement.
