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

Lymphatic leakage is an infrequent but relatively serious complication after resection of retroperitoneal tumors. Although different approaches have been attempted in treatment of lymphatic leakage, none of them has been consistently effective. This study report on a female patient, aged 55-years with massive retroperitoneal tumor, with lymphangiography and embolization for resolution of lymphatic leakage after retroperitoneal tumor resection. Computed tomography revealed retroperitoneal cystadenoma. After the right ureteral stent was placed, the retroperitoneal tumor resection was performed, and after operation, the patient presented with lymphatic leakage unresponsive to several treatment measures. From the thirty-seventh postoperative day (POD37), the patient underwent lymphangiography and embolization, which resolved her lymphatic leakage. Lymphangiography is useful for detecting lymphatic leakage occurring after retroperitoneal tumor resection. Furthermore, lymphatic embolization is feasible, effective, and safe for managing leaks demonstrated on lymphangiography.
