Multifocal Primary Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma With No Precursor Lesion: A Report of Two Cases.
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
The aim of this clinical case report is to highlight the unusual presentation of pancreatic malignancy in which multiple foci of primary adenocarcinoma involving the body and tail of the pancreas are associated with another primary pancreatic mass of adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic head with no precursor lesions in two cases. A retrospective medical chart review was performed at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to identify cases with confirmed multifocal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Data collected include clinical evaluations and laboratory and imaging results. Informed consent was waived. There was no evidence of multifocal cancer on imaging. The unexpected intraoperative findings and pathology report necessitated a total pancreatectomy for both cases. A negative imaging does not rule out a multifocal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Such awareness may help in the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, the presence of more than one primary cancer in one organ is a distinctive phenomena that needs further study.
