Metastatic Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Mimicking Pancreatic Head Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. 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
Background: Metastatic masses in the pancreatic head are uncommon, and consensus on their optimal management is lacking. Although renal cell carcinomas are most commonly associated with pancreatic metastases, there are also reported instances of pancreatic metastases originating from lung cancer. Case Report: A 65-year-old male presenting with jaundice underwent imaging studies, which revealed a mass in the pancreatic head. Subsequent imaging identified a 7 cm tumor in the left lung's hilar region, originating from the bronchus. A bronchoscopic biopsy of this hilar mass confirmed small-cell lung carcinoma. Biopsy results from the pancreatic head mass, obtained through endoscopic ultrasound, confirmed it as a metastasis from the primary small-cell lung carcinoma. The patient commenced systemic chemotherapy. Conclusion: In the differential diagnosis of pancreatic head masses, clinicians should consider the possibility of rare metastatic masses. The treatment for metastatic cases should be determined through a multidisciplinary approach.
