From Endometriosis to Encapsulation: A Case Report of Endometriosis Causing Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis.

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 is a rare complication of endometriosis that has sparsely been described in the literature. It involves the development of a thick gray-white fibrotic membrane, which partially or completely encases the small bowel and can spread intraperitoneally to involve surrounding organs, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This case describes a 33-year-old female with long-standing, biopsy-proven stage IV endometriosis who developed recurrent bloody ascites and sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, leading to multiple hospitalizations for infectious complications and ultimately requiring extensive surgical intervention. This case exemplifies the diagnostic challenge posed by endometriosis-related ascites, which can mimic malignancy, and highlights the need for awareness of atypical presentations, multidisciplinary management, and individualized surgical decision-making in advanced disease.
