Pruritus as the First Clue: Early Diagnostic Workup Uncovering an Ampullary Adenoma.
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
Ampullary adenomas are uncommon lesions with malignant potential and may present with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. This is the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with diffuse pruritus, right upper quadrant discomfort, and a cholestatic liver pattern injury, posteriorly found to have an ampullary lesion causing biliary obstruction. Initial endoscopic evaluation and biopsy suggested low-grade dysplasia, with temporary improvement after biliary decompression. However, persistent symptoms prompted repeat intervention with endoscopic papillectomy, and final pathology demonstrated high-grade dysplasia with positive margins, raising concern for an underlying malignancy not identified on the initial biopsy. This case highlights the variable clinical presentation of ampullary adenomas and emphasizes the limitations of superficial tissue sampling, underscoring the importance of complete histologic evaluation and close follow-up in suspicious ampullary lesions.
