Invasive Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Pancreas: Two Case Reports From Tanzania and a Literature Review.

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
Background: The prevalence of pancreatic cancer is increasing globally, with over 510,566 new cases reported in the literature in 2022. Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare histological variant with poor prognosis compared to other exocrine pancreatic cancer subtypes. Little is known about the prevalence of PASC in sub-Saharan Africa. Case Presentation: Two cases are presented here: Case 1 reports PASC with invasion of the gallbladder and duodenum, and Case 2 shows early-onset PASC at an even younger age. Diagnosis was made through clinical evaluation and imaging and confirmed by histological findings. Conclusion: Due to its similar presentation with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, lack of routine immunohistochemistry in some cases, and limited access to some cross-sectional imaging, PASC is often misdiagnosed or detected late. These two cases, one with invasion of the duodenum and gallbladder and the other with atypical presentation and hepatic metastasis, highlight the need for a high clinical suspicion and histopathological confirmation in sub-Saharan Africa.
