Contribution of Esophagram to the Evaluation of Complicated Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis.
Article in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesIn contrast to peptic strictures, clinically significant strictures in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) may be subtle and go unrecognized at the time of endoscopy. We aimed to identify how often stricture was identified by endoscopy as compared with contrast esophagram.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed esophagram and endoscopy examinations of all of the patients with EoE with esophageal stricture seen at a tertiary care pediatric hospital over a 6-year period who had both procedures completed within a 3-month time frame. Medical charts were reviewed for clinicopathologic information including age, duration of symptoms, histology, and treatment.
resultsTwenty-two children with EoE-associated stricture completed both esophagram and endoscopic assessments. Esophageal strictures were identified by esophagram, and not endoscopy, in 55% of these children. Patients with stricture identified at esophagram alone had a shorter duration of symptoms (2.1 years duration vs 5.4 years duration, P = 0.03) than the group identified by endoscopy. Preoperative radiographic identification of a stricture was associated with dilation more often being performed.
conclusionsEsophagram is a valuable test to assess esophageal anatomy in children with complicated EoE. Esophagram may be able to detect subtle fibrostenosis earlier in the natural history of the disease than endoscopy.
