Rapidly increasing prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis in Western Australia.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03290482 (Natural History of Eosinophilic Esophagitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 63 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
aimTo assess the prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis in a tertiary paediatric gastroenterology clinic population.
methodsA retrospective audit of Western Australian children investigated for oesophageal disease by paediatric gastroenterologists in the years 1995, 1999 and 2004. Macroscopic appearance of the oesophagus at endoscopy, original histological findings and diagnosis were recorded for each child. Biopsy specimens were blindly re-evaluated, with re-coded histological diagnoses compared with original reports. Age, sex and socioeconomic status were identified for each child.
resultsThe prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis in Western Australia increased over the decade 1995-2004, rising from 0.05 to 0.89 per 10 000 children, with a concomitant increase in the severity of oesophagitis as determined by inflammatory cell numbers and associated features of inflammation. Children diagnosed with eosinophilic oesophagitis had a median age of 78.9 months (6.58 years), with no associated predisposition by sex or socioeconomic status trend. Almost one third of cases were macroscopically normal at endoscopy. All children with an original diagnosis of eosinophilic oesophagitis had > or =40 eosinophils per high-power field.
conclusionOver the decade 1995-2004, a true increase was seen in the prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis, not accounted for by diagnostic shift. Histological samples should be taken at endoscopy to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of eosinophilic oesophagitis.
