Eosinophilic Esophagitis, Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis, and Eosinophilic Colitis: Common Mechanisms and Differences between East and West.
Review in Inflammatory intestinal diseases, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), and eosinophilic colitis (EoC) have been diagnosed with an increasing frequency over the last decades. All these diseases share pathogenic similarities with respect to triggering by food antigens in the majority of patients once secondary causes of tissue eosinophilia have been excluded. While diagnostic criteria for EoE have been published, the exact criteria for EGE and EoC still need to be defined. This review highlights similarities and differences between affected patients when comparing the Western with the Eastern world. SUMMARY: The incidence and prevalence of EoE are on the rise in countries from the Western and Eastern world. Very limited epidemiologic data exist regarding EGE and EoC. Characteristics of patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders regarding gender distribution, age at diagnosis, and associated comorbidities are similar when comparing Eastern with Western countries. Similar modalities are applied to diagnose EoE, EGE, and EoC when comparing Eastern with Western countries. Additionally, comparable therapeutic measures are applied to treat eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases in Eastern and Western countries. While EoE treatment recommendations are based on increasingly solid evidence, recommendations for the treatment of EGE and EoC are based on low evidence. KEY MESSAGES: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are diagnosed and treated using similar approaches in Eastern and Western countries. Further efforts should be undertaken to help clarify the underlying pathogenic mechanisms and to establish evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
