Interventional Radiology in Management of Postoperative Chylous Ascites.
Review in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Postoperative chylous ascites is a rare condition that can be caused by abdominal and pelvic surgery. The mortality rate associated with untreated postoperative lymphorrhea is as high as 50%. Conservative management is the primary treatment, and most patients improve. However, some patients continue to exhibit high-volume chylous ascites and need invasive intervention. Many surgical series have shown that the outcomes of patients with chylous ascites were unfavorable. Therefore, the need for minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures, such as intranodal lymphangiography, thoracic duct, lymphatic pseudoaneurysm, lymph node, hepatic lymphatic embolization, and peritoneovenous shunting, is increasing. This review describes the anatomy, physics, and diagnosis related to interventional radiology for postoperative chylous ascites as well as interventional radiology treatment options and strategies for this condition referring to recent literature.
