Rare Combination of Chyloperitoneum Secondary to Primary Small-Bowel Volvulus.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Chylous ascites is the exudation from lymphatic content to the peritoneum and is a rare situation that mostly occurs following medical causes like neoplasms or cirrhosis. However, trauma to the lymphatic system due to compression by masses or altered anatomy can be a trigger too. We describe a rare combination of a primary small bowel volvulus in a young healthy adult causing chylous ascites. Obstruction caused by a primary small bowell volvulus can re-arrange the lymphatics anatomy increasing their flow pressure which can lead to rupture and leak. This is an emergent scenario that needs to be addressed quickly because of bowel ischaemia. CT scan is the gold standard to expedite diagnosis and go to surgical treatment. Although it can be an impactful finding, treatment of the cause behind chylous ascites results in complete resolution without any bowel resection.
