Successful Treatment of Idiopathic Chyluria by Direct Percutaneous Puncture and Embolization of the Fistula Site: A Case Report.

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
We report a case of idiopathic chyluria in a woman in her 70s, successfully treated by direct percutaneous puncture and embolization of the fistula site. The patient had experienced persistent milky-white urine, progressive weight loss, and voiding difficulties for >3 years. Inguinal intranodal lymphangiography identified a lymphatic-urinary fistula near the lower pole of the left renal calyx. Later, under fluoroscopic guidance, the fistula site was directly punctured and embolized using n-butyl cyanoacrylate without complications. Her symptoms resolved immediately, and there has been no recurrence over a two-year follow-up period while she remained on a regular diet. This case highlights the effectiveness of direct percutaneous embolization of the fistula site as a minimally invasive treatment option for refractory chyluria.
