Heterotopic Pancreas Masquerading as Omental Nodule on FAPI PET/CT.
Article in Indian journal of nuclear medicine : IJNM : the official journal of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, India. 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
Chylous ascites, attributed to various etiologies including malignancy, tuberculosis, ruptured lymphatics, and congenital lymphatic disorders, manifests as abdominal distension. Our patient presented with this condition, and an elevated CA 125 prompted further investigation. Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) revealed a metabolically inactive omental nodule, while gallium 68 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (Ga-68-FAPI) PET-CT demonstrated uptake in the same nodule and low-grade uptake in bilateral adnexae. Colloid liver scan ruled out chronic liver disease. Surprisingly, lymphoscintigraphy showed no lymphatic leak. Histological examination of the omental nodule confirmed heterotopic pancreas (HP) in the small bowel mesentery, with normal adnexae. This case report illuminates the diagnostic challenges entailed in HP and signifies a pioneering instance in the literature where evidence of HP was identified for the first time on Ga-68-FAPI PET-CT during the investigative process.
