Isolated Pancreatic Sarcoidosis Masquerading as Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: 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. 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
A 50-year-old man with no known medical history presented with a four-year history of epigastric pain and weight loss. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the head of the pancreas concerning for adenocarcinoma. The patient twice underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with biopsy, with inconclusive results. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan revealed localized disease, concerning for malignancy. With no definitive diagnosis or treatment options, and after multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent a Whipple procedure. Pathology revealed granulomatous inflammation of the pancreas and surrounding lymph nodes, consistent with sarcoidosis. Here, we present a rare case of isolated pancreatic sarcoidosis masquerading as pancreatic malignancy in a patient without a known history of sarcoidosis.
