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

backgroundPersistent eosinophilia and eosinophil-mediated single- or multiple-organ damage are typical features of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Theoretically, eosinophilic infiltration of the ascending aortic wall could not be excluded in HES, therefore the present study aimed to test whether HES is associated with abnormalities in aortic elastic properties.

methodsThe present study comprised 10 HES patients (mean age: 57.6±10.1 years, 5 males) without known cardiovascular disease, their results were compared to 19 age-, gender- and risk factor-matched controls (59.2±4.2 years, 15 males). Complete two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography with measurement of echocardiographic aortic elastic properties was performed in all HES cases and controls.

resultsAlthough neither systolic (30.6±3.4

conclusionsIncreased aortic stiffness could be demonstrated in HES patients in their early necrotic phase.
