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 esophagitis is a clinicopathologic disease characterized by 1) persistent upper intestinal symptoms despite the patient's use of gastric acid blockade and 2) large numbers of eosinophils in the squamous epithelium of the esophagus. This disease is increasing in frequency and the exact etiologic agent(s) remain elusive. The major importance of identifying eosinophilic esophagitis is that affected patients are receiving fundoplication for persistent symptoms when, in fact, corticosteroids or diet restriction is the treatment of choice.
