Pancreatic schwannoma- CT and MRI findings: A rare case report and review of literature.

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
introductionPancreatic schwannoma (PS) is an extremely rare benign tumor. Here we describe the Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results of PS in a 59 years old woman, as well as a review of the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old woman consulted for atypical epigastralgia without fatigue, weight loss or fever. CT scan and MRI showed a 35 mm inhomogeneous lesion with well-defined margins located in the pancreas head. The diagnosis of pancreatic tumor was made. The pathologic examination of the biopsied mass yielded a diagnosis of pancreatic schwannoma. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: On CT scans, almost all benign PS are well-defined cystic or low-density masses. MRI is helpful in characterizing their typical encapsulation.
conclusionThe detection of pancreatic schwannoma is extremely rare. Although multiple imaging modalities are currently available, it is challenging to make an accurate diagnosis before operation.
