Adult Pancreatoblastoma: An Uncommon Pancreatic Malignancy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
In this report we present a rare case of pancreatoblastoma in an adult patient. Whilst they are amongst the most common malignant pancreatic tumours in children, presentations in adults are exceedingly rare, with a small number of reported cases. Its presentation is often non-specific in terms of clinical examination, and subsequent imaging can show similar findings to those seen in benign neoplasms. This report highlights the difficulty of achieving a diagnosis and subsequent treatment of such an uncommon disease. Biopsy and resultant histology are essential in diagnosis and surgical resection remains the preferred modality of treatment. However, the use of chemotherapy and its efficacy in adults remains unclear, and the prognosis documented in existing literature for adults is worse when compared to paediatric presentations. This case emphasises the need to consider pancreatoblastoma as a differential diagnosis when suspecting pancreatic or abdominal malignancies to achieve early detection and diagnosis, in order to provide optimal treatment and improve patient outcomes.
