Pancreatic-Type Acinar Cell Carcinoma of the Duodenum: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Surgical case reports, 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
introductionAcinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor arising from pancreatic exocrine cells. While it typically originates in the pancreas, ectopic occurrences, especially in the duodenum, are extremely uncommon. Few reports exist of duodenal ACC, particularly those presenting as large tumors. CASE PRESENTATION: An 83-year-old man presented with melena. Endoscopy and imaging revealed a large mass, approximately 7 cm in size, extending from the duodenal bulb to the descending portion of the duodenum. Contrast-enhanced CT showed no evidence of extramural invasion or distant metastasis. Although biopsy confirmed malignancy, a definitive diagnosis could not be established preoperatively. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative histopathological examination, including immunohistochemical staining positive for trypsin, confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic-type ACC, likely arising from ectopic pancreatic tissue in the duodenum.
conclusionsWe report a rare case of a giant pancreatic-type ACC of the duodenum, which was strongly suspected to have arisen from ectopic pancreatic tissue. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with pancreatic-type ACC of the duodenum and adds valuable information to the limited literature on this rare entity.
