Lymphangiography and Glue Embolization of Postoperative Chylothorax Using Direct Mediastinal Lymph Node Puncture under CT Guidance: 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 the case of an 85-year-old woman with high-output chylothorax that developed after esophagectomy with thoracic duct ligation. Lymphangiography identified a leak site on the dorsal side of the left main bronchus, but failed to control the leak. Targeted sclerotherapy at the leak point temporarily reduced drainage but did not achieve closure. A mediastinal lymph node in the left retrocrural space that retained lipiodol from the previous lymphangiography was punctured under computed tomography guidance, followed by the injection of N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue, which occluded the leaking lymphatic channel. The drainage rapidly stopped, and the patient had no recurrence. Computed tomography-guided mediastinal lymph node puncture may be a minimally invasive alternative when conventional thoracic duct embolization is not feasible.
