Lymphatic Embolization for Lymphatic Leakage After Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection: Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 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
Introduction: Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for muscle-invasive bladder cancer may be complicated by postoperative lymphatic leakage when high-output drainage persists despite conservative management. We describe treatment of diffuse lymphoascites after pelvic lymph node dissection using upstream lymphatic embolization. Case Presentation: A man in his 70s developed lymphatic leakage with drainage > 1000 mL/day after radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Lymphoscintigraphy showed bilateral iliac leakage with diffuse intraperitoneal spread, making local sclerotherapy unsuitable. Intranodal lymphangiography via bilateral inguinal nodes identified iliac lymphatic duct leaks. Upstream embolization with a N-butyl cyanoacrylate-ethiodized oil mixture through multiple inguinal nodes rapidly reduced drainage, allowing drain removal by day 4 and discharge by day 10 without persistent lymphedema. Conclusion: Upstream lymphatic embolization is a minimally invasive option for refractory high-output lymphatic leakage after pelvic lymph node dissection.
