Osteoclast-like Giant Cell-type Pancreatic Anaplastic Carcinoma Presenting with a Duodenal Polypoid Lesion.
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 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.
Who cites it
6 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 7 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Osteoclast-like giant cell-type (OCGC) anaplastic carcinoma is a rare variant of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and its imaging characteristics and progression pattern have not been fully clarified. The patient was a 73-year-old man who had been incidentally found to have a pancreatic head tumor. Computed tomography demonstrated a 3-cm marginally enhanced mass at the pancreatic head, continuing toward the duodenum. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed a retained diffusion capacity. Duodenoscopy revealed a 1.5-cm polypoid lesion, covered by a dirty coat, near the major papilla. Surgical material revealed OCGC pancreatic anaplastic carcinoma protruding to the duodenum, accompanied by multiple hemorrhagic foci and hemosiderin precipitations.
