Isolated Pancreatic Tuberculosis in an Immunocompetent Host: A Diagnostic Challenge.
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
Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) is rare and may closely mimic pancreatic malignancy, most often in immunocompromised patients. We describe the case of a man in his early 30s who presented with progressive epigastric pain, anorexia, fatigue, and 14 kg of weight loss. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a multicystic lesion in the pancreatic head encasing the coeliac axis with necrotic lymphadenopathy, appearances highly suspicious for malignancy. The case was reviewed at a regional multidisciplinary tumour meeting, and surgical resection was considered. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle biopsy initially demonstrated necrotising granulomatous inflammation; however, Ziehl-Neelsen staining was negative, and mycobacterial cultures were not requested. Six weeks later, a repeat biopsy demonstrated a culture positive for
