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

Lymphatic malformations (LMs) arise from errors in lymphatic vascular development during embryogenesis and encompass an array of conditions that span from common cystic LMs to complex lymphatic anomalies (CLAs). Manifestations of LMs are wide-ranging, from clinically inconsequential to life-threatening. Proper diagnosis and management can be challenging and often benefit from an experienced multidisciplinary team. Cystic LMs are localized entities for which percutaneous sclerotherapy is the mainstay treatment. CLAs, on the other hand, are more diffuse in involvement and typically require multimodal therapy. With advances in the genetic understanding of LMs, targeted systemic therapies have been increasingly utilized with promising results. Thoracic duct interventions, both surgical and percutaneous, have a limited role in CLAs and should be approached cautiously to avoid significant complications. In this review, we discuss the genetic basis, imaging findings, and management options for LMs, with a particular focus on relevant interventional radiology techniques.
