Acute on chronic pancreatitis affecting the ectopic pancreas located in the jejunal mesentery: A case report.
Article in Acta radiologica open, 2024. 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
Ectopic pancreas within the mesentery is rare. In this case report, a 61-year-old man with an ectopic pancreas within the jejunal mesentery for over 20 years developed chronic pancreatitis that progressed to acute exacerbation. Our computed tomography (CT) performed for acute abdomen assessment suggested acute appendicitis or Meckel's diverticulitis. However, a CT scan taken 20 years ago revealed a structure indicative of an ectopic pancreas in the mesentery, and further imaging findings taken 10 and 4 years ago confirmed progression to chronic pancreatitis. Furthermore, we found a pancreatic stone confined in the luminal structure that corresponded to the main pancreatic duct; this stone eventually caused acute exacerbation. In summary, we report a case of mesenteric ectopic pancreas that showed typical findings of progression and acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis on CT.
