Diffuse Type Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: The Linitis Plastica Type of the Pancreas.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 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
Pancreatic malignant tumors are diverse and characterized by aggressive nature with high mortality rates. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic malignant tumors and accounts for approximately 90% of pancreatic malignancies. A subtype of PDAC, diffuse type PDAC (DTP), is a very rare and underreported tumor, known for its aggressive traits. Although little data are available about this tumor subtype characteristics, it usually presents with distinct features that are different from the known ones in PDAC. Herein, we present a case of a 61-year-old male patient, who presented with abdominal discomfort, weight loss and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed an ill-defined mass at the uncinate process with diffuse dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle biopsy showed cellular atypia suspicious for malignancy. The patient underwent total pancreatectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. His postoperative course was uneventful. The final histopathological report showed well-differentiated diffuse ductal adenocarcinoma involving the pancreatic head, neck and body.
