Peripancreatic Tuberculosis Mimicking Metastatic Pancreatic Malignancy With Hepatic Lesions.
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
A 61-year-old woman presented with chronic constipation, epigastric pain, intermittent fever, night sweats, anorexia, and marked weight loss. Imaging showed porta hepatis and peripancreatic lymphadenopathy, small hepatic lesions, and a pancreatic-region lesion, raising concern for metastatic pancreatic malignancy or lymphoma. The initial liver biopsy was negative for metastatic carcinoma and lymphoma. Surgery was considered but canceled after magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography did not confirm a definite pancreatic mass requiring operative management. A repeat core biopsy of the presumed pancreatic-region lesion sampled lymph node tissue and showed caseating granulomatous inflammation with positive acid-fast staining. PCR testing later confirmed
