1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 ascites is a rare form of ascites usually associated with cirrhosis, abdominal malignancies, surgeries or infections. We presented a case of chylous ascites after robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy (PLDN-RALP), in which the correct diagnosis was achieved by SPECT/CT lymphoscintigraphy. A 72-year-old male developed chylous ascites after surgery and underwent lymphoscintigraphy with radiolabeled albumin nanocolloids for the supplementary study of the lymph flow and to detect a possible site of leakage. The scintigraphic imaging demonstrated the abdominal effusion and lymph stasis in the left iliac region. The combination of planar imaging with SPECT/CT can resolve the assessment of chylous disorders.
