Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor presenting as a diffuse pancreatic enlargement, case report and review of literature.
Review in Journal of radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms that comprise 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. However, they are the second most common solid pancreatic neoplasms. They have a wide range of imaging appearances and they can show common to very rare imaging presentations. Most of the time they are solitary well-marginated enhancing solid mass arising in a certain aspect of the pancreas. We present a case report of a 41-year-old female who underwent clinical work-up for abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight loss for the past year. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging show diffuse homogenous pancreatic enlargement without contour deformity or a focal mass. Lymphoma and autoimmune pancreatitis were suggested based on imaging findings but IGg4 level and other lab data were normal. Endoscopic ultrasonography confirmed the diffuse enlargement of the pancreas without peripheral structures involvement. The pathological results of multiple fine-needle aspiration biopsy from all parts of the enlarged pancreas revealed a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor.
