Thoracic duct lymphangioma and chylous ascites in a 24-year-old female.
Article in Autopsy & case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lymphangiomas are rare and correspond to 0.7% to 4.0% of mediastinal tumors, and isolated mediastinal location occurs in 1% of cases. They are benign tumors that originate from a congenital malformation of the lymphatic vessels and are diagnosed more frequently in children less than 2 years of age. Chylous ascites is a clinical manifestation of thoracic duct lymphangioma and is composed of lymph accumulation caused by dilation of this lymphatic channel. It appears milky in the peritoneal cavity, containing triglyceride levels higher than 200 mg/dl. We report the case of a young patient with chylous ascites and lymphangioma of the thoracic duct, who was conservatively treated with octreotide and a low-fat diet with medium-chain triglycerides.
