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 definition of eosinophilic gastritis (EG) is currently limited to histologic EG based on the tissue eosinophil count.

objectiveWe aimed to provide additional fundamental information about the molecular, histopathologic, and clinical characteristics of EG.

methodsGenome-wide transcript profiles and histologic features of gastric biopsy specimens, as well as blood eosinophil counts, were analyzed in patients with EG and control subjects (n = 15 each).

resultsThe peak gastric antrum eosinophil count was 283 ± 164 eosinophils/×400 high-power field in patients with EG and 11 ± 9 eosinophils/×400 high-power field in control subjects (P = 6.1 × 10(-7)). Patients with EG (87%) had coexisting eosinophilic inflammation in multiple gastrointestinal segments; the esophagus represented the most common secondary site. Increased peripheral blood eosinophil counts (patients with EG: 1.09 ± 0.88 × 10(3)/μL vs control subjects: 0.09 ± 0.08 10(3)/μL, P = .0027) positively correlated with peak gastric eosinophil counts (Pearson r(2) = .8102, P < .0001). MIB-1(+) (proliferating), CD117(+) (mast cells), and FOXP3(+) (regulatory T cells, activated T cells, or both) cell counts were increased in patients with EG. Transcript profiling revealed changes in 8% of the genome in gastric tissue from patients with EG. Only 7% of this EG transcriptome overlapped with the eosinophilic esophagitis transcriptome. Significantly increased IL4, IL5, IL13, IL17, CCL26, and mast cell-specific transcripts and decreased IL33 transcripts were observed.

conclusionEG is a systemic disorder involving profound blood and gastrointestinal tract eosinophilia, TH2 immunity, and a conserved gastric transcriptome markedly distinct from the eosinophilic esophagitis transcriptome. The data herein define germane cellular and molecular pathways of EG and provide a basis for improving diagnosis and treatment.
