Surgical Management of Pancreatic Head Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are uncommon abnormalities of pancreatic blood vessels that result in direct, high-flow connections between arteries and veins. There are currently fewer than 200 reported cases in the literature of this particular anomaly. They are often clinically asymptomatic but may present with abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, or features of portal hypertension, and can resemble cystic or neoplastic lesions on imaging. We report a case of a 48-year-old female with a pancreatic head mass presenting with non-specific abdominal pain and jaundice. Owing to diagnostic uncertainty and biliary obstruction, an open, stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Intraoperatively, a tense blood-filled cyst was identified; histopathology demonstrated an organised haematoma with abnormal vascular channels consistent with a pancreatic arteriovenous malformation. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by pancreatic arteriovenous malformations and supports surgical resection as definitive management when malignancy or obstruction cannot be confidently excluded.
