Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis.
Article in Current treatment options in gastroenterology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
There are no evidence-based studies of the treatment of patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Treatment decisions depend on experience gained from observations linking causative entities, principal clinical manifestations, and anticipated natural history of the disease. Because clinical symptoms and organ involvement probably vary with etiology, classification as to the likely cause (eg, food allergy or other dietary intolerance, idiosyncratic drug reaction, occult infection, idiopathic) determines the decisions made about dietary, pharmacologic, and surgical treatment. Elimination of foods and the use of elemental diets, corticosteroids, and mast cell inhibitors (eg, cromolyn sodium, ketotifen), alone or in combination, all have their place, depending on the age of the patient, organ involved, clinical presentation, and clinical urgency. Isolated cases are diagnosed only at surgical exploration for acute abdominal catastrophes; in these instances, further therapy depends on whether resection is done, but most patients remain in remission after surgery. Occult parasitism remains an elusive and unrecognized cause of an unknown number of cases, suggesting that empiric antihelminthic therapy should be tried in some patients. Individual reports of success with nonsystemic steroids and leukotriene inhibitors have been published.
