Adenocarcinoma developing from gastric heterotopic pancreas: a case report and short review.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. 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
Heterotopic pancreas is a relatively rare condition that may be associated to clinical complaints or signs. Here, we report a case of gastric heterotopic pancreas assictaed to ductal adenocarcinoma. Obstructive jaundice was the initial symptom prompting medical intervention. A 73-year-old male patient presented with yellow staining of the skin and sclera, and dull epigastric pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed stenosis of the extrahepatic distal bile duct and mass lesions of the antrum. The patient underwent tumor resection, distal gastrectomy (Billroth II), and common bile duct exploration. Postoperative pathological examination revealed an adenocarcinoma located in the wall of the gastric antrum. Immunohistochemical results suggested that the tumor originated from the pancreas. Heterologous pancreatic tissue and a dilated pancreatic duct were found in the tumor. These findings suggest malignant transformation of the gastric heterotopic pancreas. Of note, jaundice as clinical complaint for adenocarcinoma associated to gastric heterotopic pancreas.
