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

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) was first described over 50 years ago. Despite its long history, it remains an ill-defined and poorly understood entity. EG can present in a number of ways, none of which are exclusive to the disorder. EG has features of allergy and immune dysregulation but does not clearly fit into the category of allergic or immune disorder. While EG has been reported to affect all locations and layers of the gastrointestinal tract, the vast majority of reported cases have demonstrated mucosal involvement of the gastric antrum and small intestine in addition to disease activity of other locations of the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, several reports have identified a disease consisting of an isolated esophageal eosinophilia. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), also known as primary eosinophilic esophagitis or idiopathic eosinophilic esophagitis, occurs in adults and in children and represents a subset of EG with an isolated severe esophageal eosinophilia. Patients with EE present with symptoms similar to those of gastroesophageal reflux but are unresponsive to antireflux medication. Reports have demonstrated that patients with EE respond to either dietary restriction or corticosteroids.
