Acinar cystic transformation of the pancreas-a rare case in a young patient.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acinar cystic transformation (ACT) is a very rare transformation of the pancreas and has been described in less than 100 cases since its first report in 2002. The aim of this case report is to get a better understanding of this pancreatic transformation, which to date appears to be non-malignant. However, radical surgery was performed in most cases due to misinterpreting the initial diagnosis. ACT may be misdiagnosed for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and is currently not included as a potential differential diagnosis for cystic lesions of the pancreas. ACT belongs to the benign cystic alterations of the pancreas. Despite its rarity, it should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis with regard to cystic lesions in the pancreas, especially in order to avoid unnecessary surgery.
