Pancreatic cancer Masquerading as lung nodules: A Diagnostic Dilemma.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. 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
To our knowledge, this is the first report of isolated pulmonary nodules as an initial presentation of underlying pancreatic cancer. We present a case of metastatic pancreatic cancer which manifested as worsening bilateral pulmonary nodules and normal abdominal imaging in a 72-year-old female patient. A navigational bronchoscopy with biopsy of lung nodules was performed which showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 19-9 levels were elevated so endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration was done which revealed an underlying occult pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy. Patients with pulmonary metastasis have been shown to confer longer survival as compared to metastatic disease involving other organs. We have briefly reviewed the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and management of such cases in our report.
