Ossification in pancreatic neoplasms: A report of three cases of neuroendocrine tumor, mucinous cystic neoplasm, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with review of the literature.

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
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of mature bone tissues in non-skeletal tissues and has been reported in various types of neoplasms. The presence of HO in pancreatic tumors is rare, with only 16 cases reported in the English literature, and the mechanism of HO formation remains unclear. In the present study, the 17th to 19th cases of HO in pancreatic neoplasms were described and the literature on HO in pancreatic neoplasms was reviewed. Three Japanese women with pancreatic masses on imaging underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. The three pancreatic masses were histopathologically diagnosed as a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET), mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and HO was found in all of them. Neither pancreatic NET with HO nor MCN with HO has yet been reported in the English-language literature, and to our knowledge, these are the first such reports. Although rare, the knowledge that various types of pancreatic tumors, including NETs and MCNs, are associated with HO may be useful in daily practice, and the significance of tumor-associated HO is discussed.
