1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo collect and review the diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for primary and congenital lymphovascular malformations leading to urological symptoms in childhood and also to find the most efficient therapeutic algorithms managing such conditions.

methodsIn our work, we assemble all the diagnostic and therapeutic tools for lymphovascular malformations with urological-urogenital symptoms and demonstrate the interventional therapeutic algorithms through two of our cases where surgery (laparoscopic intervention and clipping of the lymph vessel) had to be performed to stop lymphoid leakage and restore anatomy.

resultsIn cases, where lymphovascular malformations and urological-urogenital symptoms are both present, therapeutical success is graded by Browse's scoring system. According to that, our choices of management achieved the best possible outcome in both cases below.

conclusionsAlthough conservative ways of therapy are known and widely used, in more advanced cases surgical help is often needed to reach long-term improvement. In situations where significant mass of chyle has accumulated causing severe complaints, conservative therapy should not to be started. Surgical solutions provide fast and lasting improvement for patients suffering from congenital lymphovascular malformations.
