Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Following Recovery From COVID-19 Pneumonia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness and pulmonary manifestations are the typical presentations of the disease. However, it became evident that the COVID-19 is not limited to the respiratory system. Specifically, gastrointestinal involvement in patients with COVID-19 is very common, particularly in patients with a critical illness. We present a case of a 52-year-old man who was diagnosed as having severe COVID-19 pneumonia and underwent endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The patient remained in the intensive care unit for seven days. Following his recovery, he started to experience generalized abdominal pain. The pain did not resolve with conservative measures. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen demonstrated small bowel loops clustered with a surrounding thin membrane. Such findings conferred the diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. The patient was prepared for laparoscopic surgery. Resection of the membrane was performed without any injury to the encapsulated bowel. Analysis of peritoneal fluid by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The patient had an uneventful recovery. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a very rare condition associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. The present case is the first reported case to document the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the peritoneal fluid in a patient with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.
