Research progress on abdominal cocoon syndrome.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome (ACS) is an uncommon medical condition defined by the encasement of the small intestine within a robust fibrocollagenous membrane, frequently resulting in intestinal obstruction. The clinical presentation of this syndrome is varied, which complicates its diagnosis due to both its atypical symptoms and infrequency. This review offers an extensive summary of the existing knowledge regarding ACS, concentrating on its causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging, pathological features, treatment modalities, and prognostic implications. Recent case studies and research have clarified the correlation between ACS and conditions such as tuberculous peritonitis, underscoring the necessity for differential diagnosis. Enhancements in imaging methodologies have facilitated improved preoperative identification, while surgical treatment continues to be the primary approach, with particular attention given to essential surgical techniques and the management of intraoperative complications. Through a systematic evaluation of contemporary literature, this review aspires to elevate clinical awareness, enable prompt diagnosis, and encourage tailored treatment strategies aimed at enhancing patient outcomes in cases of ACS.
