Successful treatment of pulmonary lymphatic perfusion syndrome with lymphatic intervention embolization: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pulmonary Lymphatic Perfusion Syndrome (PLPS) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal lymphatic drainage into the lungs, leading to symptoms such as chyloptysis and chylous effusions. We report a case of a 54-year-old male with PLPS who presented with persistent cough, milky sputum, and pericardial effusion. Following initial misdiagnosis and ineffective empirical treatment for a presumed pulmonary infection, a definitive diagnosis of PLPS was established. The patient underwent successful percutaneous thoracic duct embolization, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and imaging findings at follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering PLPS in patients with unexplained chylous effusions and the efficacy of lymphatic intervention as a treatment option.
