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 is a rare benign disease characterized by tissue eosinophilic infiltration that may involve several digestive tract layers. Also known as allergic, or eosinophilic allergic, gastroenteropathy, it usually involves the stomach and small intestine: rarely the colon. It may or may not be accompanied by higher counts of eosinophils in the peripheral blood. The main clinical manifestations depend on the site affected. It has been classified according to clinical and pathological features, and the symptoms depend on the patient's immunological response to several cytokines released by eosinophils. Because of lack of understanding of the etiology and triggering factors, treatment is based mainly on corticosteroids; although other drugs acting on the immune system have been tested, the results are not always satisfactory. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment of this hitherto under-diagnosed disease.
