Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis in advanced liver cirrhosis presenting with acute small bowel obstruction: a case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. 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
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is an inflammatory condition characterized by the encasement of the small bowel in a dense fibro-collagenous membrane resulting in acute bowel obstruction. In the context of liver disease, SEP is exceptionally rare, with only eight known cases to date. We describe the case of a 52-year-old male presenting to a rural hospital with acute small bowel obstruction secondary to SEP in the setting of decompensated liver cirrhosis. SEP is an uncommon cause of acute small bowel obstruction. Definitive treatment requires surgical intervention, typically with enterolysis and excision of the abdominal cocoon. For patients with cirrhosis, this is associated with exceptionally high perioperative morbidity and mortality. SEP is an important differential in cirrhotic patients presenting with acute bowel obstruction, particularly in the context of long-term beta blocker use. Early discussions regarding prognosis and careful patient selection for surgical intervention are of paramount importance.
