Potential Role of Lymphovenous Bypass in Mitigating Alzheimer's Disease Dementia.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 explores the therapeutic potential of lymphovenous bypass (LVB) surgery performed at the neck in neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. The subject is a 58-year-old woman who was previously healthy but began experiencing unexplained memory decline and frequent disorientation in the past 7 years, leading to an AD diagnosis. Despite ongoing pharmaceutical therapy, her symptoms progressed to severe dementia accompanied by behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Her Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores were both 0/30, and
