Bilateral acquired Perirenal Lymphangiectasia: case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bilateral perirenal lymphangiectasia is a rare condition characterized by the dilation of lymphatic ducts and the formation of fluid-filled cavities. Renal lymphangiectasia is rarely observed, affecting approximately 1% of cases, with only 34 bilateral cases reported in adults by 2025. This case report discusses a 55-year-old male with a history of recurrent pyelonephritis who was eventually diagnosed with bilateral acquired perirenal lymphangiectasia based on CT, MRI, and cytochemical analysis of perirenal fluid. The patient exhibited mild left flank pain without further complications, and given the disease's benign nature, an expectant management approach was adopted. Follow-up assessments confirmed an asymptomatic status. This report highlights the importance of considering lymphangiectasia in differential diagnoses for renal cystic lesions to avoid unnecessary procedures. Our case is the 35th documented instance of bilateral renal lymphangiectasia in the literature, underscoring the need for medical awareness of this condition to improve diagnosis and patient care.
