Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in children.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but extremely serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). While EPS has been well recognized in adults on long-term PD, and children can spend many years on PD before a transplant becomes available, only a small number of children with EPS have been described. Two European pediatric registries have recently reported on the prevalence, potential risk factors and outcomes of EPS in children. Although the prevalence of EPS is comparable to that published in adult registries, the outcome of pediatric EPS is significantly better and carries a lower mortality. All studies have shown a greater risk of EPS with a longer dialysis vintage, but it is not known why some individuals are susceptible to EPS development. In this review we discuss current views on the epidemiology, pathogenesis and management strategies for EPS. The hope of the authors is that this review will alert pediatric nephrologists to this rare but extremely serious complication of chronic PD. In the future, collaborative research and the establishment of a pediatric EPS registry may be of importance in helping pediatric nephrologists to recognize the early warning signs of EPS development and thereby to develop strategies for its prevention and optimal management.
