Pancreatic Tuberculosis Manifesting as Pancreatic Mass: A 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
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major global health burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where it contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. While pulmonary TB is the most common form, extrapulmonary manifestations, including pancreatic TB, are rare and often pose diagnostic challenges. Isolated pancreatic TB in immunocompetent individuals is exceptionally uncommon and is rarely considered in the initial differential diagnosis of a pancreatic mass. We present the case of a 26-year-old immunocompetent woman with a six-month history of persistent epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and progressive weight loss. Laboratory investigations revealed normocytic normochromic anemia and mildly elevated serum bilirubin levels. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated pancreatic mass, leading to a provisional diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma. However, histopathological examination of the lesion revealed features of an acute suppurative process. Further analysis of aspirated cystic fluid using the Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) and Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining confirmed the presence of
