Jejunal Ectopic Pancreas: A Rare Cause of Small Intestinal Mass.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Ectopic pancreas (EP) is defined as the presence of pancreatic tissue outside the pancreas with no anatomical connection to the pancreas. It is also known as pancreatic heterotopia, accessory pancreas, aberrant pancreas, or pancreatic rest. The first case of EP was described in 1727 when pancreatic tissue was identified in the ileal diverticulum. Abdominal pain and lower gastrointestinal bleeding are the most common symptoms. On histopathological examination, EP can be classified into four subtypes. Once identified and diagnosed, the treatment is surgical resection and the post-operative course is asymptomatic in most cases. We describe a rare case of EP, which was discovered on the CT scan of the abdomen as a jejunal mass and successfully treated with surgical resection. We have also described the possible role of chromogranin A for diagnosing EP cases and for post-operative follow-up.
