Rapid Onset Chylous Ascites Presenting as the Initial Manifestation of Follicular Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Follicular lymphoma is the most common indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) with overall survival measured in years for the majority of patients (NHL carries a somewhat positive prognosis). Baseline clinical genetic characteristics appear to be the best predictors of the clinical course. A few cases appear to be familial; however, no consistent environmental or infectious causation has been identified. Our presenting patient has a case of follicular lymphoma that was initially diagnosed in the setting of rapid onset chylous ascites, a highly atypical and rare presentation. Follicular lymphoma typically presents with painless lymphadenopathy in lymph nodes along the torso. The lymphoma cells divide within the nodes and can be palpated as bumps within the axilla or on the neck above the clavicle. Various prognostic indicators and tumor grading can give providers a sense of survival statistics. Once diagnosed, chemotherapy tends to form the backbone of most treatment regimens with various roles for immunotherapy and radiation.
