Alternative approach to the management of post-operative chylothorax.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2025. 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
Chylothorax is a rare complication of cardiothoracic surgery which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Surgical intervention is necessary in cases refractory to the traditional medical management. However, the increased morbidity and mortality rates of surgical intervention are heralding the growing popularity of percutaneous intervention. We present here a case report of a patient who developed chylothorax, following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) who was refractory to medical management. In view of persistent chylothorax, the patient underwent percutaneous intervention and plugging of the chyle leak, which resulted in prompt cessation and resolution of the chylothorax and symptomatic improvement in the patient. Percutaneous intervention such as thoracic duct embolization may be considered a successful alternative to surgical intervention for treatment of chylothorax.
