Peripheral eosinophilia - is it a predictable factor associated with eosinophilic cholecystitis?
Article in Korean journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of peripheral eosinophilia as a predictable factor associated with Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) compared with other forms of cholecystitis in patients who underwent a cholecystectomy.
methodsBetween January 2001 and May 2011, the histopathologic features of 3,539 cholecystectomy specimens were reviewed retrospectively. EC was diagnosed in 30 specimens (0.84%). Data from 30 consecutive patients with EC (eosinophilic cholecystitis group [E-group]) were compared with a retrospective control group of 60 patients (other cholecystitis group [O-group]) during the same period. The two groups were matched for age, gender, and the presence of cholelithiasis.
resultsThe median absolute eosinophil count 1 day post-operatively was 144 cells/mm(3) (range: 9-801 cells/mm(3)) in the E-group and 93 cells/mm(3) (range: 0-490 cells/mm(3)) in the O-group (p=0.036). Pre-operative peripheral eosinophilia was more common in the E-group than the O-group (20% vs. 3.3%, p=0.015). Multivariate analysis revealed that pre-operative peripheral eosinophilia was an independent significant predictable factor associated with EC (odds ratio=7.250, 1.365 <95% confidence interval<38.494, p=0.020).
conclusionsIn the present study, pre-operative peripheral eosinophilia was shown to be an independent predictable factor associated with EC. Further researches seem to be necessary to confirm this finding.
