1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 benign subepithelial tumor (SET) mostly found incidentally in the stomach and duodenum. Here, we present computed tomography (CT) scans and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) images from a 71-year-old Taiwanese man newly diagnosed with colonic adenocarcinoma. CT examination revealed a mural nodule in the proximal jejunum, with good enhancement after IV contrast medium administration. Push enteroscopy was performed to localize the lesion and evaluate its nature, and a 1 cm subepithelial lesion was found. The lesion appeared hyperechoic within the submucosal layer of the bowel wall on endoscopic ultrasound examination. A tattoo was performed, and the lesion was removed during the resection of colon cancer. The histopathology confirmed the presence of pancreatic tissue inside. As far as we know, this is the first description in the literature of an endoscopic ultrasound finding of a jejunal ectopic pancreas.
