Perirenal lymphatics: anatomy, pathophysiology, and imaging spectrum of diseases.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Despite being rarely discussed, perinephric lymphatics are involved in many pathological and benign processes. The lymphatic system in the kidneys has a harmonious dynamic with ureteral and venous outflow, which can result in pathology when this dynamic is disturbed. Although limited by the small size of lymphatics, multiple established and emerging imaging techniques are available to visualize perinephric lymphatics. Manifestations of perirenal pathology may be in the form of dilation of perirenal lymphatics, as with peripelvic cysts and lymphangiectasia. Lymphatic collections may also occur, either congenital or as a sequela of renal surgery or transplantation. The perirenal lymphatics are also intimately involved in lymphoproliferative disorders, such as lymphoma as well as the malignant spread of disease. Although these pathologic entities often have overlapping imaging features, some have distinguishing characteristics that can suggest the diagnosis when paired with the clinical history.
