Lymph Cyst After Robotic-assisted Lateral Lymph Node Dissection for Rectal Cancer Treated With Lymphangiography: A Case Report.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimWith the increasing use of robotic-assisted surgery, postoperative lymphatic leakage has become a more frequent challenge. Lymph cysts following lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for rectal cancer can lead to complications, such as infection, compression of adjacent structures, and impaired lymphatic drainage. Conservative treatments, including percutaneous drainage, are often used, but refractory cases require alternative strategies. CASE REPORT: A 78-year-old woman underwent robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection with right LLND for lower rectal cancer. She was discharged on postoperative day 12 but developed right lower abdominal pain on day 7 after discharge. Computed tomography revealed a fluid collection in the LLND area, diagnosed as a lymph cyst. Despite computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage, the output remained high, and symptoms persisted. On hospital day 18, lymphangiography was performed using Lipiodol
conclusionLymphangiography with Lipiodol is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for refractory lymph cysts following LLND. As robotic-assisted surgery becomes more common, understanding and managing postoperative lymphatic complications are increasingly important.
