Symptomatic jejunal ectopic pancreas presenting as intestinal obstruction: a case report.

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
Ectopic pancreas is a rare condition where pancreatic tissue develops outside its normal location, often remaining asymptomatic. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and hypertension who presented with postprandial abdominal pain, projectile vomiting, and constipation, clinically suggestive of intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography revealed jejunal wall thickening, raising suspicion of a neoplastic lesion. Exploratory laparotomy identified a 4 cm sessile mass in the jejunum, which was resected. Histopathology confirmed ectopic pancreatic tissue (Type I) with acini, ducts, and islets in the submucosa and muscularis, causing luminal narrowing. The patient recovered well after surgery, with complete symptom resolution. This case highlights ectopic pancreas as a rare but important differential for small bowel obstruction, requiring histopathological confirmation for definitive diagnosis. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice for symptomatic cases.
