Mucinous cystic neoplasm mimicking pancreatic pseudocyst and progressing to adenocarcinoma: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAs a heterogeneous group of lesions, pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) vary enormously in malignant potential, mandating different treatment strategies. Despite significant advances in diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests, the accurate diagnosis of PCLs remains challenging, leading to overtreatment or delayed/missed surgical timing in patients with PCLs. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a 64-year-old female patient in whom an asymptomatic, incidental cystic mass was found in the pancreatic tail on a routine abdominal ultrasound. After a comprehensive work-up with laboratory examinations, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, a pancreatic pseudocyst was suspected. Subsequent endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy supported a benign diagnosis. Follow-up computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations five months later showed significant cyst shrinkage without any abnormalities. However, three years after being lost to follow-up, the patient was readmitted and diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with multiple metastases, suggesting that the initial lesion was a mucinous cystic neoplasm misdiagnosed as a pancreatic pseudocyst.
