Management of Refractory Chylous Ascites.

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
Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a procedure with both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. We present a patient who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for a PET-positive left para-aortic lymph node identified on surveillance. Subsequently developing chylous ascites. Initial conservative management with dietary modification, total parenteral nutrition, somatostatin analogues, and percutaneous drainage proved ineffective. Trans-nodal lymphangiography was performed. The sclerosant effect of lipiodol alone provided temporary improvement, however, the chylous ascites recurred. Definitive treatment was achieved via CT-guided percutaneous lymphatic embolization using NBCA glue combined with lipiodol. Post procedure, the chylous ascites was treated successfully and patient discharged.
