Perforated duodenal tuberculosis with pancreaticobiliary disruption requiring salvage pancreaticoduodenectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Gastroduodenal tuberculosis is uncommon, and duodenal perforation is exceptional. A 25-year-old man from rural Tanzania presented with generalized peritonitis after prolonged epigastric symptoms, weight loss, night sweats, and household tuberculosis exposure. Emergency laparotomy showed destructive pyloroduodenal perforation with insufficient viable tissue for local repair; distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy were performed. Persistent high-output pancreatic-type drainage and progressive jaundice prompted relaparotomy, which demonstrated pancreaticoduodenal destruction and loss of distal biliary continuity. A tailored salvage pancreaticoduodenectomy was required. Histology showed necrotizing granulomatous duodenitis extending into peripancreatic fat and gallbladder serosa while sparing pancreatic acini and gallbladder mucosa. Antituberculous treatment was started, and the patient was well at 3 months. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is not standard treatment for duodenal tuberculosis but may exceptionally be unavoidable when lesser procedures cannot restore source control and anatomical continuity.
