Combined Volume Reduction Surgery and Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis for Treatment of Lower Leg Lymphedema.

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
Much has been reported in the past regarding obesity as a risk factor for the origin of lymphedema. There are also reports of surgical treatments for obesity-related lymphedema. We have previously reported on the effectiveness of lymphaticovenular anastomosis in reducing chronic inflammation, and we believe that lymphaticovenular anastomosis is a very useful surgical approach in patients with recurrent cellulitis. In this report, we describe a case of a severely obese patient with a body mass index over 50 who developed lymphedema in both lower extremities due to pressure from sagging abdominal fat accompanied by frequent episodes of cellulitis.
