A rare case of nephrotic syndrome with chylothorax.

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 an infrequent cause of pleural effusion that is most commonly caused by the obstruction or disruption of the thoracic duct. Chylothorax is rare in nephrotic syndrome. Unilateral chylothorax of the right side is due to the transdiaphragmatic shunting of chylous ascites. It is usually transient and self-limiting but a massive chylothorax requiring therapeutic thoracentesis can also be encountered. Here, we present a rare cause of chylous ascites-nephrotic syndrome resulting in chylothorax, where initially therapeutic thoracentesis is done followed by the management of nephrotic syndrome with modified Ponticelli regimen. This case highlights the need to consider chylous ascites as a cause of chylothorax via transdiaphragmatic shunting in patients with nephrotic syndrome to institute the appropriate treatment.
