Case report: Initial presentation of pancreatic schwannoma as cystic pancreatic mass treated with classic Whipple's procedure.
Article in Frontiers in gastroenterology (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 schwannomas are exceedingly rare tumors arising from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath within the pancreas. Often asymptomatic or presenting with nonspecific symptoms, these tumors pose a diagnostic challenge due to their mimicry of other pancreatic neoplasms on imaging studies. Histologically, pancreatic schwannomas demonstrate spindle cell proliferation with a distinct Immunohistochemical profile, including positive staining for S-100 protein. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment, with excellent long-term prognosis following complete excision. Here, we present a case report of a pancreatic schwannoma in a woman presenting with a cystic pancreatic mass, underscoring the importance of considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions.
