Vascular Anomaly Associated with Ectopic Pancreas in the Pylorus.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The ectopic pancreas is a relatively rare congenital condition, defined as pancreatic tissue lacking anatomical or vascular continuity with the normal pancreatic body. The ectopic pancreas is most frequently found in the stomach, usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. We report the case of a 72-year-old man who was diagnosed with cancer in the gastric vestibule. Distal gastrectomy was performed, and 3 cm of the ectopic pancreas was found on the anterior surface of the pylorus intraoperatively. The gastroduodenal artery was not found by approaching the inferior border of the pancreas but by following the branches from the common hepatic artery. Posterior view CT confirmed that the GDA terminated in the ectopic pancreas. An ectopic pancreas may be associated with vascular anomalies. Clinicians must consider the possibility of vascular anomalies when operating on patients with an ectopic pancreas. If the gastroduodenal artery cannot be found intraoperatively, identification should be attempted by following the common hepatic artery.
