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

objectiveTo determine the frequency, etiological spectrum and treatment outcome of hypereosinophilia (HE) and hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) in a tropical setting.

methodsA retrospective analysis of hospital data of five years (January 2009 to December 2013) and a comprehensive prospective evaluation of patients presenting with HE/HES over a period of 33 months (January 2014 to September 2016) was performed.

resultsHE/HES was diagnosed in a total of 125 patients during the study period with an estimated prevalence of 0.5-1 case per 100,000 population in our hospital settings. 41 patients were excluded from the final analysis due to lack of sufficient data. Infections, especially helminths were the commonest cause (34%) followed by primary/clonal HE/HES (24%) and reactive HE/HES secondary to various clonal disorders (14.3%). A lymphocytic variant of HES and

conclusionsAn underlying malignancy (Primary HE/HES and neoplasms leading to reactive HES; 35.7%) is diagnosed with nearly equal frequency compared to infections (34.5%) in tropical settings. There are no hematological or serological parameters, which can reliably be used to exclude an underlying malignancy, necessitating a thorough follow-up and comprehensive work-up in patients with HE/HES.
