1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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), also known as abdominal cocoon syndrome, is a rare and potentially fatal condition characterized by the encasement of the small intestine within a dense fibrotic membrane. Fewer than 250 cases have been reported worldwide. We present a case of SEP in a patient on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). A 66-year-old female with end-stage renal disease on chronic PD presented with worsening abdominal pain, distension, and hypotension. Laboratory evaluation revealed leukocytosis and an elevated peritoneal fluid white blood cell count. Peritoneal fluid cultures grew
