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

A 49 years old male, who had had postprandial dysphagia during the preceding 10 years, was referred to our hospital. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed longitudinal furrows and concentric rings in the mid to lower esophagus and stenosis in the lower esophagus. Histologic findings from esophageal biopsies showed eosinophilic infiltration (> 15 per high-power field). Under a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, an endoscopic bougie was performed, which resulted in symptomatic relief. Follow-up EGD revealed that the stenosis had improved, but histologic findings of eosinophilic esophagitis were remaining. Our case suggests that although rare, esophageal stenosis occurs in Japanese patients with EoE, and that the complication may be a consequence of prolonged disease. Other risks and the appropriate treatment for the prevention of stenosis need to be elucidated further.
