1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Impaired lymphatic circulation in the mediastinum may result from congenital disorders, leakage secondary to trauma, or infiltration by neoplasia. It manifests as chylothorax, plastic bronchitis, and/or alveolar fatty pneumonitis. Lymphography, involving the injection of contrast medium into peripheral lymph nodes, was previously utilised but posed challenges in execution and image interpretation. We describe two patients admitted to our department with relapsing chylothorax and respiratory failure associated with "fatty" pneumonitis and plastic bronchitis. The final diagnosis was confirmed by injecting 2 mL of gadolinium into the mediastinal lymph nodes under endoscopic ultrasonography guidance (EBUS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualised its distribution.
