[Transpedal x-ray lymphangiography and treatment of peripheral lymphatic leakage].
Review in Radiologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. 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
backgroundConventional x‑ray transpedal lymphangiography enables the diagnosis of a variety of lymphatic diseases through detailed visualization of the lymphatic vessels, in particular those of the lower extremities. Today, it is employed primarily to visualize peripheral lymphatic leakage such as lymphoceles. Its application in lymphoma, lymph node metastases or lymphedema nowadays-with rare exceptions-is only of historical interest.
objectiveTo present the basic technical principles of transpedal lymphangiography and the interventional treatment options for peripheral lymphatic leakage.
resultsTranspedal x‑ray lymphangiography has a technical success rate of 75-100% when performed by an experienced interventionalist. Pathological findings are visualized in 58-95% of cases. Additionally, a therapeutic effect on postsurgical lymphatic leakage can be expected in about 50% of patients. Additional interventional procedures such as sclerotherapy and lymph vessel embolization are available for the treatment of peripheral lymphatic leaks, whereby the clinical success rates reach 80-100%. Complications are generally rare.
conclusionTranspedal x‑ray lymphangiography is a safe and effective procedure for visualizing lymph vessel anatomy. In patients with peripheral lymphatic leaks and consecutive fistulas and/or lymphoceles, lymphangiography as well as percutaneous sclerotherapy or embolization are successful and increasingly used treatment alternatives to surgery.
