Lymphatic Leakage in Pediatric Heart Transplantation: Early Recognition and Timely Management with Interventional Radiologic and Endoscopic Therapy.
Article in JPGN reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a severe complication of the Fontan procedure that leads to systemic complications owing to enteric protein loss. Hepatoduodenal lymphatic leakage resulting from increased lymphatic pressure is one such complication. We present the case of a pediatric heart transplant patient who experienced refractory PLE symptoms requiring serial albumin infusions and exhibited lymphatic leakage into the duodenum. Using diagnostic lymphangiography and endoscopy, we identified the affected area and treated it successfully with endoscopic sclerotherapy using ethanolamine injection. This treatment allowed for the cessation of lymphatic fluid and may serve as a potential intervention for PLE-associated hepatoduodenal lymphatic leakage. The present case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely intervention with radiology and endoscopic therapy to manage PLE and its associated complications.
