Incidental Finding of a Periampullary Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
A 63-year-old male with multiple co-morbidities presented with a diabetic foot infection which was treated surgically. During admission to the hospital, he developed melena and underwent an endoscopic assessment which revealed an incidental finding of an ampullary mass. The histological analysis of the biopsy revealed ampullary carcinoma with mixed intestinal-type and pancreatobiliary-type features. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver with contrast presented the tumor as an ill-defined small soft tissue lesion measuring 8 x 9 mm in the ampullary region, with multiple lymph nodes in the periportal, peripancreatic, and para-aortic regions. There was no evidence of biliary obstruction. The patient underwent a Whipple procedure with no complications. The final histology report of the specimens taken stated that the tumor is predominantly in the duodenum and focally in the ampulla, and is a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor confirmed to be submucosal. The histopathologic and radiologic workup determined the pathological stage classification to be pT3N1, Mx G1.
