Pancreatic lipomatous hamartoma mimicking other pancreatic tumor: a case report and literature review.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Pancreatic lipomatous hamartoma (PLH) is an extremely rare benign entity that forms a mass-like lesion. PLH lacks distinct features, and can be preoperatively misdiagnosed as a pancreatic tumor with lipomatous components, including pancreatic lipomatosis, lipoma, liposarcoma, and malignant tumors with fatty degeneration. Here, we report a case study of PLH in a 73-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 4.3×4-cm solid mass with a lipomatous component in the pancreatic head, and the mass displayed a centripetal pattern of contrast enhancement. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with pancreatic liposarcoma, and subsequently underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy. The postoperative pathology and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of PLH, which primarily contained mature adipocytes, small ducts, and a few well-preserved pancreatic acini. Although this disease is rare, we suggest that PLH should be considered during the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions with lipomatous components. Consideration of the potential for PLH disease might reduce the number of unnecessary resections.
