Pancreatic malignancy in disguise: imaging pitfalls and mimickers of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy and continues to rank among the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Imaging plays a central role in detection, staging, and treatment planning; nevertheless, PDAC remains one of the most frequently missed or misdiagnosed abdominal malignancies in clinical practice. Diagnostic challenges arise from subtle early imaging findings, anatomic blind spots within the pancreas, and a wide spectrum of inflammatory, benign, and malignant entities that closely mimic PDAC, such as focal acute pancreatitis, mass-forming chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, groove pancreatitis, neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma, metastases, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms and focal fatty infiltration. This narrative review provides a comprehensive, imaging-focused discussion of PDAC and its mimickers, with an emphasis on practical problem-solving strategies to reliably differentiate mimics from PDAC and improve diagnostic confidence, reduce unnecessary interventions, and facilitate timely and appropriate patient management.
