Gastric duplication cyst with ectopic pancreas in a teenager successfully resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Article in BMC surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundGastric duplication cyst associated with ectopic pancreas is rare and we aimed to alert clinician to this congenital anomaly. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old girl presented with intermittent vomiting. Gastroscopy showed a submucosal tumor with an approximate diameter of 40 mm in the anterior wall of the gastric antrum. The lesion had a central umbilication and was diagnosed preliminarily as gastric ectopic pancreas with pseudocyst formation on the basis of its appearance. However, computed tomographic scan showed a thick-walled cystic lesion with an enhanced outline of the cystic wall in the antrum of stomach, suggestive of duplication cyst. Serum amylase was normal. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a solid-cystic lesion; the solid portion were inhomogeneously mixed with echoes, and had indistinct border to muscularis propria; the cystic portion had echogenic internal mucosal layer and distinct border to muscularis propria. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was suggested for the patient to relieve symptoms and diagnose the lesion definitely. The operation procedure was uneventful and the solid-cystic lesion was resected completely. Histopathologic examination revealed that the solid portion was ectopic pancreas, and the cystic portion was gastric duplication cyst. After resection, the patient discharged successfully and neither symptoms nor tumors recurred during the 9 months follow-up period.
conclusionsThis is the first case of a solid-cystic lesion with central umbilication in the stomach diagnosed as gastric duplication cyst associated with ectopic pancreas. ESD could be an optional treatment to provide a definitive diagnosis.
