Multinodular cystic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma presenting as a splenic hilum cyst with peritoneal carcinomatosis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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 acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare malignancy accounting for 0.2%-4.3% of pancreatic tumours, typically affecting older men. Cystic variants are exceptionally uncommon and often mimic benign pancreatic lesions, posing diagnostic challenges. We report a 37-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a large multiseptated lesion involving the pancreas, spleen, and retroperitoneal structures. Surgical exploration demonstrated multiple peritoneal and hepatic nodules. Distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, omentectomy, and resection of hepatic lesions were performed. Histopathology confirmed poorly differentiated pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with extensive peritoneal metastases. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case highlights a rare cystic presentation of PACC in an atypical demographic. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for rare pancreatic malignancies in the differential diagnosis of complex cystic abdominal lesions.
