Interventional Radiology Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax.
Article in The Korean journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Postoperative chylothorax is a rare occurrence after various thoracic surgical procedures, but it poses a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality. Thoracic duct embolization (TDE) is currently deemed the optimal treatment due to its safety and efficacy. This review offers an introduction to interventional options in this setting, detailing the steps of TDE for the edification of those engaged in postoperative care.
