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

Chyloperitoneum is an uncommon diagnosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. While admitted for emesis and feeding intolerance, a 16-month-old male on PD developed milky-colored dialysate with increased triglycerides, indicating chyloperitoneum. In adult PD patients, chyloperitoneum can indicate potentially life-threatening pathologies including malignancies and liver or heart disease. By contrast, pediatric patients on PD with chyloperitoneum had recently undergone PD catheter or gastrostomy tube placement with presumed disruption of abdominal lymphatics. Slowing lymph flow through dietary manipulation and rarely, temporary withholding of PD, resolved chyloperitoneum. We report a toddler on PD with chyloperitoneum in whom abdominal investigation showed multifocal hepatoblastoma. Chemotherapy and a medium chain triglycerides (MCTs)-based diet led to prompt resolution of chyloperitoneum. Intrabdominal malignancy in this patient illustrates the importance of a prompt, thorough evaluation of chyloperitoneum to allow definitive therapy if required.
