Eosinophils in the gastrointestinal tract: how much is normal?
Article in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The normal density of eosinophils in the digestive mucosa of children has been rarely addressed despite being important to provide baseline counts for the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID). Histopathological criteria for EGID remain undefined and there has been little consistency of results in different populations. We aimed to establish the eosinophil density of the normal digestive mucosa in a paediatric population submitted to endoscopic procedures with normal histological features. Biopsies from endoscopies of 33 patients were evaluated. Quantification of eosinophils was performed manually. Review of the pathology reports confirmed absence of abnormality in the biopsy specimens. Counts were expressed in eosinophils per high power field and per mm
