Usefulness of lymphography and computed tomography for detecting the site of chyle leakage.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chylothorax is a rare but serious complication following aortic surgery. Our patient was a 68-year-old man who underwent descending aortic replacement for a chronic dissected aortic aneurysm and in whom chylothorax postoperatively developed due to a thoracic duct injury. Although adequate medical treatment was immediately initiated at diagnosis, chyle leakage persisted. Lipiodol lymphography followed by computed tomography showed the accurate site of the leakage. Surgical repair was performed via a repeat thoracotomy with smaller incision. We were able to detect the laceration of the thoracic duct. The patient recovered and was uneventfully discharged.
