Metastatic small cell lung cancer presenting as acute pancreatitis: Diagnosis with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We detail a case of a right hilar small cell lung cancer with pancreatic metastases presenting as acute pancreatitis and being diagnosed on Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). A 59-year-old male patient had an MRCP performed following an initial computed tomography scan of the abdomen as part of the investigations following admission with acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was not clear on CT but MRCP was able to confirm the likely diagnosis of pancreatic metastases with primary lung cancer as the underlying cause. The case illustrates the clinical radiological conundrum concurrent acute pancreatitis can produce to the diagnosis of pancreatic metastases along with how the superior tissue characterization of MRI despite the absence of intravenous contrast can be utilized to better identify solid pancreatic lesions and contribute towards the diagnosis. The superior field of view T2 coronal and localizer images on MRCP, compared to other standard abdominal imaging modalities, in this scenario enabled the right hilar lung primary to be diagnosed.
