Management of Spontaneous Chylothorax in a Neonate: A Medical Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 or collection of lymphatic fluid in the pleural space is an exceedingly rare cause of pleural effusion and respiratory distress in neonates. In adults, prompt diagnosis and effective treatment regimen can aid in the resolution of chylothorax; however, in neonates treating the condition can be an onerous challenge for the pediatricians due to the rarity and perplexing clinical presentation. We elucidate a case of spontaneous chylothorax in a 15-day-old neonate who presented to us with respiratory distress, chest indrawing, and cyanosis for nine days. The prenatal and birth history of the patient were insignificant. The detailed laboratory and radiological assessment of the patient divulged a diagnosis of spontaneous chylothorax for which the patient was intubated. Unfortunately, the patient deteriorated and eventually expired on the 23rd postnatal day due to the complications of respiratory acidosis and hypoxemia.
