Spontaneous chylous ascites, chylomediastinum and bilateral chylothoraces encountered during laparoscopic incarcerated paraesophageal hernia repair.

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
Chylous ascites is an accumulation of milky lipid-rich lymph in the peritoneal cavity. Spontaneous chyle leak is a rare occurrence, often associated with malignancy or cirrhosis. This is a report of spontaneous chylous ascites, chylomediastinum and chylothoraces encountered in the setting of an incarcerated paraesophageal hernia. A 60-year-old female presented to the emergency department with epigastric pain, dysphagia and vomiting. Clinical presentation and imaging were concerning for an incarcerated paraesophageal hernia, and the patient was taken to the operating room. During laparoscopic reduction of the hernia and repair, chyle was encountered in the peritoneal cavity, mediastinum and pleural spaces. Postoperatively, the chyle leak resolved with a nonfat diet. The unusual occurrence of a chyle leak in this case may have been due to compression of the thoracic duct within the chest by the incarcerated paraesophageal hernia.
