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

The immunological basis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an interesting contrast between the enigma of urticaria and the increasing usage of molecular technology in clinical allergy. Little is known about the natural history of EGE. It has been known to spontaneously remit, but the typical course, especially in adults, is one of chronic and intermittent disease. Given the often chronic nature of this disease, it is important to use relatively benign treatments initially and limit the use of systemic corticosteroids. Also, given the fact that eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract may also be a manifestation of other potentially dangerous disease processes, such as malignancy or hypereosinophilic syndrome, which may be initially diagnosed as EGE, routine surveillance of the cardiopulmonary and gastrointestinal systems is important. We present a patient who demonstrates the variability of presentation and treatment response in this multifaceted disease. The fact that he has apparently entered remission also makes his an uncommon presentation of EGE.
