Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm originating from a jejunal heterotopic pancreas: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIntraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a rare pancreatic tumor and has the potential to become malignant. Surgery is the most effective treatment at present, but there is no consensus on the site of resection. Heterotopic pancreas occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach and duodenum but is asymptomatic and rare. We report a case of ectopic pancreas with IPMN located in the jejunum. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old male patient suffered from severe pain, nausea and vomiting due to a traffic accident and sought emergency treatment at our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the whole abdomen suggested splenic congestion, which was considered to be splenic rupture. Emergency laparotomy was performed, and the ruptured spleen was removed during the operation. Unexpectedly, a cauliflower-like mass of about 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm in size was incidentally found about 80 cm from the ligament of Treitz during the operation. A partial small bowel resection was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed the small bowel mass as heterotopic pancreas with low-grade IPMN.
conclusionEctopic pancreas occurs in the jejunum and is pathologically confirmed as IPMN after surgical resection.
