Bilateral lower limbs swelling as uncommon manifestation of primary congenital lymphoedema: navigating diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in resource-limited Ende, Indonesia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
This case report details a newborn in Ende, Indonesia, diagnosed with primary congenital lymphoedema, evidenced by bilateral lower limb swelling. This rare condition is characterised by developmental defects in the lymphatic system, leading to a fluid balance disruption. Diagnosis was primarily clinical, relying on thorough patient history and physical examination, given the limited resources for advanced diagnostic tools. The report emphasises the importance of supportive care, including meticulous skin care and manual lymph drainage, to improve life quality and minimise infection risks. It highlights the diagnostic and management challenges faced in low-resource settings and stresses the need for awareness and early intervention to manage such congenital conditions effectively.
