Management of lymphoma-associated chylothorax by interventional radiology and chemotherapy: a report of five cases.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Chylous effusion is associated with lymphatic obstruction or leakage in mediastinal or abdominal lymph nodes, and is a rare but troublesome complication in patients with malignant lymphomas. Although there is no standard of care, it is often treated with simultaneous chemotherapeutic and non-chemotherapeutic interventions. Here, we describe the cases of five patients with lymphoma-associated chylothorax with the aim of clarifying an effective treatment strategy. All patients achieved a partial response or better for lymphoma. All patients underwent interventional radiology (IVR) procedures, including lymphangiography (LAG) and thoracic duct embolization (TDE). Complete resolution of chylothorax was eventually achieved by IVR procedures or pleurodesis in all patients. No patients experienced serious adverse events related to LAG/TDE. Treatment of chylous effusion required months for most patients (range: 0.2-4.8 months). Our data suggest that a combination of chemotherapy and LAG/TDE is effective for refractory lymphoma-related chylous effusion.
