Congenital Peritoneal Encapsulation Limiting Generalized Peritonitis: A Case Report of a Human Kangaroo Sac.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Congenital peritoneal encapsulation (CPE) is a very rare entity that occurs due to atypical embryonic development of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in an extraperitoneal membrane that partially or completely encloses the small intestine. It is an exceptionally rare condition that is usually asymptomatic and is identified incidentally during surgery or autopsy. We report a case of a 34-year-old male patient who presented with stable vitals and features of localized peritonitis of the left upper abdomen. The chest X-ray (posteroanterior (PA) view) and abdominal X-ray (erect view) showed gas under the diaphragm, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the abdomen was suggestive of pneumoperitoneum. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of CPE with gastric perforation. The rare presence of peritoneal encapsulation may have limited the spread of peritoneal contamination, making the patient present with only features of localized peritonitis and less severe symptoms.
