Autoimmune Pancreatitis Presenting as Multifocal Masses: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an uncommon inflammatory condition that can mimic pancreatic malignancy both clinically and radiologically, leading to diagnostic uncertainty. Two subtypes exist: Type 1 is linked to systemic IgG4-related disease, and Type 2 is confined to the pancreas. A 64-year-old woman was found to have submandibular and cervical lymphadenopathy during a routine physical examination. Further imaging revealed FDG-avid lymph nodes and pancreatic abnormalities, raising concern for malignancy. However, biopsy results confirmed Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and IgG4-related sialadenitis. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, which resolved her symptoms and improved imaging findings. This case emphasizes the need to consider atypical presentations of AIP and highlights the effectiveness of steroid therapy in IgG4-related diseases.
