Heterotopic pancreas in the gallbladder: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundHeterotopic pancreas (HP) refers to pancreatic tissue located in areas with no vascular or anatomical connection to the pancreas. HP occurs mostly in the stomach, duodenum, and colon, and rarely in the gallbladder. CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital complaining of right upper quadrant discomfort for 3 years. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed adenomyomatosis with a thickened fundus of the gallbladder. The patient underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and pathological examination unexpectedly showed heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder. The patient had a favorable recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 3. She did not report any symptoms or complications at the 6-mo postoperative follow-up. Pathologists should pay close attention to such pancreatic tissue and carefully examine it for dysplasia or malignancy.
conclusionThis case provides more information about HP in the gallbladder, a rare occurrence.
