Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreatic tail: a rare entity with surgical and histopathological insights.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) of the pancreas are rare, benign lesions often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. Their radiological features frequently overlap with those of other more common pancreatic cystic lesions, presenting a diagnostic challenge. In this report from a general surgical department on the Australia, we detail the assessment and management of a 54-year-old male with an enlarging pancreatic tail lesion initially thought to be a mucinous cystic neoplasm. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was performed, and subsequent histopathological evaluation confirmed a benign LEC. This report reviews the literature base, clinical presentation, radiological findings, surgical approach, and pathological diagnosis of this rare condition. We emphasize the importance of a tailored approach to management and the role of surgery in definitive treatment.
