Case Report: A rare complication easily misdiagnosed as bacterial peritonitis: a case of sterile peritoneal dialysis-chemical peritonitis induced by amino-acid-based dialysate and literature review.

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
Peritoneal dialysis-chemical peritonitis induced by amino acid-based peritoneal dialysis solution is extremely rare. There are only a few reported case series of this condition. It can occur at any time during the use of amino acid dialysate, and most cases present with abdominal pain, cloudy effluent, and elevated peritoneal leukocyte counts, closely mimicking infectious peritonitis. This similarity poses a significant diagnostic challenge, as it is difficult to distinguish from bacterial peritonitis. Here, we report a case of peritoneal dialysis-chemical peritonitis associated with amino acid dialysate in a patient on peritoneal dialysis, aiming to raise awareness among clinicians of this rare entity that can be easily confused with infectious peritonitis. We also review its clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, and management.
