Chylous Ascites From Cirrhosis-Related Portal Hypertension Treated With Medium-Chain Triglycerides, Octreotide, and Paracentesis.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2026. 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
Chylous ascites is a rare complication of cirrhosis-related portal hypertension, accounting for less than 1% of ascites cases. We report a 76-year-old diabetic woman with prior breast cancer and cirrhosis secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease presenting with abdominal distension, bloating, and dyspnea. Paracentesis revealed pink milky chylous fluid with triglycerides of 269 mg/dL. Malignancy was excluded by cytology and positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Treatment with a medium-chain triglyceride diet, fat-soluble vitamins, diuretics with albumin, octreotide (200 μg/d), and paracentesis led to clinical improvement. This case underscores the rarity of chylous ascites and the efficacy of multimodal conservative management.
