Effect of surgery for encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis on mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in The Journal of international medical research, 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
ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of surgical versus nonsurgical treatment on mortality in patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis who underwent peritoneal dialysis.MethodsA comprehensive search using PubMed, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Science Direct, Scopus, and CNKI databases was conducted to extract relevant data based on predefined inclusion criteria. RevMan5.2 was applied to analyze and compare the effect of surgical versus nonsurgical treatment on mortality in patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis who underwent peritoneal dialysis.ResultsA total of 7 studies involving 70 surgical and 57 nonsurgical patients were included, with 61.4% females and 38.6% males. Among them, 69 were Asian and 58 were European patients, with 37.7% and 75.9% of Asian and European patients accepting surgical treatment, respectively. Pooled data analysis indicated that surgical treatment was associated with significantly lower mortality than nonsurgical treatment in patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (odds ratio = 0.25, 95% confidence interval: 0.11-0.57, Z = 3.29;
