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
Adipophilin expression and eosinophilia associated with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) are extremely rare in the literature, and the relationship between adipophilin expression and IPMN remains unclear. This study reports the case of a 67-year-old male patient with adipophilin-positive IPMN and eosinophilia, which diminished following R0 surgical resection. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for a pancreatic head (Ph) tumor detected by abdominal echo screening. Computed tomography revealed a polycystic mass approximately 40 mm in diameter. The resected specimen was located in the Ph and measured 35 × 31 × 20 mm (TS2). Histopathological examination revealed an IPMN, low-grade papillary growth, and a branch duct type. Immunohistochemically, mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) and MUC6 were expressed in the tumor cytoplasm, classifying it as the gastric type. In addition, eosinophil infiltration was observed in the glandular ducts of the tumor, and adipophilin was expressed in the tumor cytoplasm. This case highlights the rare coexistence of adipophilin expression and eosinophilia in IPMN, necessitating further investigation.
