A pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm undergoing intriguing morphological changes over time and associated with recurrent pancreatitis: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleMucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) are pancreatic mucin-producing cystic lesions with a distinctive ovarian-type stroma. The diagnosis is generally easy in typical cases; however, differential diagnosis is difficult in others such as in the case we report herein. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 27-year-old woman with sudden onset of epigastric pain was referred to our hospital for suspected acute pancreatitis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 25-mm cystic lesion in the pancreas and a low density area with delayed enhancement at the right upper side of the cystic lesion. DIAGNOSES: During its clinical course, the cystic lesion underwent various morphological changes. Eventually, it presented typical findings of MCNs, and could be accurately diagnosed.
interventionsLaparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was performed on the patient by preserving the spleen. OUTCOMES: The patient revealed no symptoms till 1 year after the operation. LESSONS: This case of MCN with intriguing short-term morphological changes was associated with recurrent pancreatitis. A combination of imaging modalities is essential for accurate diagnosis of MCNs, and follow-up with serial imaging might be useful for certain unusual lesions.
