Pancreatic tuberculosis: A case report and review of literature.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 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
backgroundPancreatic tuberculosis (TB) is a rare clinical condition that is frequently misdiagnosed. A definitive diagnosis is often established through surgical biopsy. CASE SUMMARY: We report a previously healthy 21-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain and fever. Initially diagnosed with a pancreatic abscess and duodenal bulb perforation, the patient declined surgical intervention and was subsequently referred to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopy revealed a duodenal bulb perforation, esophageal and duodenal ulcers, and a mass in the pancreatic head. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration identified a hypoechoic mass suggestive of TB. Cytological and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with primary pancreatic TB and started on anti-TB therapy. At the 1-year follow-up, the pancreatic mass had markedly regressed, and the patient had fully recovered with complete symptom resolution.
conclusionPancreatic TB should be included in differential diagnosis; prompt endoscopic ultrasound-fine-needle aspiration and therapy enable recovery.
