Controversies in Surgical Management of Lymphedema.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05136079 (Prophylactic LYMphatic Reconstruction), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of lymphedema has expanded in recent years. Lymphovenous bypass and vascularized lymph node transfer are both modern techniques to address the physiologic dysfunction associated with secondary lymphedema. While efficacy of both techniques has been demonstrated in numerous studies, there are several questions that remain. Here, the authors discuss the most pertinent controversies in our practice as well as the current state of surgical management of lymphedema.
