Recurrent Chylothorax: A Rare Complication of Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis With Necrosectomy and Stent Placement for Pseudocyst.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chylothorax is an abnormal collection of chyle in the pleural space that requires prompt intervention. This case report describes a 47-year-old female who presented with recurrent chylothorax as a complication of necrotizing pancreatitis. She was initially evaluated for acute respiratory distress. Chest radiograph showed a large right-sided pleural effusion requiring multiple thoracenteses followed by chest tube placement for symptomatic relief. The patient had a history of acute necrotizing pancreatitis status post cystogastrostomy with axios stent placement and necrosectomy for pseudocyst three years before her presentation. This report highlights inflammatory changes in the pancreas leading to chyle leakage in the pleural cavity. To our knowledge, there are only a few reported cases in the literature. Diagnosis, evaluation, and management explained.
