Pancreatic Tuberculosis Mimicking Pancreatic Tumor: A Case Report from Rural Area in Indonesia.

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
Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) is extremely rare and has similar clinical and radiological findings compared to pancreatic malignancy. Challenges in detecting individuals with pancreatic TB, especially in rural areas with limited supporting resources, are the reasons for a more complete care strategy. We report a case of pancreatic TB in a 25-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department (ED), who was initially suspected of having a pancreatic tumor. Her chief complaints were fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain, while she also experienced weight loss. Exploratory laparotomy and further pathological evaluation suggested pancreatic TB. Subsequently, the patient was given anti-TB drugs and showed clinical improvement. In conclusion, this case report highlighted that pancreatic TB could mimic pancreatic cancer; however, it is a treatable condition. Thus, it is important for physicians to consider this as a differential diagnosis, especially in high-risk populations and in rural areas with limited diagnostic tools.
