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

Like many rare diseases, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a poorly understood disorder, and assessment tools to accurately determine disease activity, remission, and natural history have long been inadequate. Clinical outcome end points able to assess the effectiveness of candidate therapeutic agents in clinical trials have been a particular deficiency and are urgently needed. With no approved therapy available to patients and with the prevalence of EoE on the increase, collaborative approaches to drug development are becoming ever more important. We describe a collaborative effort mobilized across institutions, including both the public and private sectors, that was initiated within the past 18 months expressly to address the need for further clinical research into the cause and treatment of EoE. Collaborators include the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition; the International Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Researchers; and the US Food and Drug Administration. This effort has resulted in the elucidation of several parameters essential for effective EoE registration trials, including the need for clinically meaningful end points that measure changes in clinical symptoms in addition to the assessment of intraepithelial mucosal eosinophilia. The development and use of biomarkers, particularly in early-phase drug development, have become an important focus for investigations that might reduce clinical reliance on serial invasive monitoring. The concerted efforts described here to develop rational therapeutics and drug development paradigms in EoE also appear to provide a model for effective collaboration in the context of drug development for rare diseases and perhaps more generally for public health initiatives.
