Clinical and endoscopic characteristics of eosinophilic esophagitis in Japan: a case-control study.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) is an allergy-associated clinicopathologic condition gaining an increasing amount of recognition in various areas of the world. While the clinical definition and characteristics may differ depending on country and region, sufficient studies have not yet been performed in Japan.
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of EoE among the Japanese population and the clinical features associated with the disease.
methodsEndoscopic data from January 2012 to October 2018 was gathered from 9 Japanese clinical institutes. EoE, defined as esophageal mucosal eosinophilia of at least 15 eosinophils per high-power field, was determined based on esophageal biopsies. Clinical and endoscopic patterns in the cases with EoE were investigated and compared with 186 age- and sex-matched controls.
resultsFrom 130,013 upper endoscopic examinations, 66 cases of EoE were identified (0.051%; mean age, 45.2 years [range, 7-79 years]; 45 males). Twenty-five patients (37.9%) with EoE were diagnosed by endoscopy during a medical check-up. Patients with EoE had more symptoms (69.7% vs. 10.8%,
conclusionThe prevalence of EoE in the Japanese population was 0.051% which was comparable with previous reports in Japan. History of allergies and the absence of atrophic gastritis were associated with EoE.
