Proximal bowel obstruction caused by high-grade duodenal adenocarcinoma: A rare case.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction: Duodenal adenocarcinoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy, constituting less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal cancers. Its nonspecific symptoms often lead to delayed diagnosis and advanced disease at presentation. Case presentation: A 64-year-old female presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and biliary vomiting. Imaging revealed a proximal small bowel obstruction, and endoscopy identified a high-grade duodenal adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent a successful duodenojejunectomy, side-to-side anastomosis, and lymphadenectomy. Discussion: Post-operative recovery was uneventful, leading to discharge in stable condition. This case underscores the importance of considering duodenal adenocarcinoma in differential diagnoses for small bowel obstruction and highlights the effectiveness of surgical management. Conclusion: Duodenal adenocarcinoma, though rare, should be considered in patients with small bowel obstruction. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
