Chyluria Status Post Microwave Ablation of Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive alternative to nephrectomy for select patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly those with solitary kidneys or significant comorbidities. We present a case of a 55-year-old male with stage 3B chronic kidney disease and biopsy-confirmed clear cell RCC who underwent successful microwave ablation. Post-procedure imaging demonstrated a stable lesion size without recurrence. However, follow-up revealed persistent chyluria, likely as a rare and delayed consequence of ablation. This report discusses the pathophysiology, diagnostic considerations, and clinical implications of chyluria in the post-ablation setting.
