Eosinophilic gastroenteritis--a diagnostic enigma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 heterogeneous and curable disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis is rare, with an approximate incidence of 1/100,000. The pathophysiology is based on infiltration of the eosinophils involving various parts of gastrointestinal system, but also different layers of the wall. The authors present a case of the eosinophilic gastroenteritis, which is characterised by the predominant subserosal type associated with asthma, ascites and bilateral pleural effusion. In patients with asthma and abdominal symptomatology, eosinophilic gastroenteritis should be considered as a possible diagnosis. These two atopic conditions may occur more frequently than generally expected, especially in the presence of protein-losing gastroenteropathy. ▸ Consider a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in patients with atopy and gastrointestinal symptoms. ▸ Histological demonstration of the gastrointestinal tract and/or ascites. ▸ Exclude other causes of eosinophilia such as parasites, Churg-Strauss syndrome, hypereosinophilic syndrome.
