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

backgroundThe prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is increasing rapidly in Western countries. Several case series of EE have also been reported in Japan. However, the prevalence of EE in Japanese patients as investigated by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is unknown. Therefore, we carried out a prospective multicenter study to address this issue.

methodsFrom July to December 2010, 23,346 patients who had undergone routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in 17 institutions were enrolled. In patients with symptoms suggesting EE, such as dysphasia, food impaction, and heartburn, and/or in patients in whom endoscopic findings suggested pathology, esophageal biopsy samples were collected, and the numbers of eosinophils in the squamous epithelium were counted.

resultsDuring the study period of 6 months, 4 patients were endoscopically and histologically diagnosed with EE. The prevalence of EE was calculated to be 17.1/100,000.

conclusionThe prevalence of EE in Japanese patients by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy has now been documented.
