1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: When systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects the lymphatic system, it disrupts the normal physiological function of the lymphatic circulation, leading to clinical chylous effusion and lymphedema. Currently, the computed tomography lymphangiography (CTL) or technetium-99m dextran ( Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 23 patients with SLE complicated by chylous effusion and/or lymphedema. All patients underwent CTL and Results: No significant differences were found between CTL and Conclusions: CTL demonstrates subtle morphological abnormalities of lymphatic vessels and provides precise anatomical localization.
