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

We present a case of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) with positive skin-prick testing for type I allergy to red yeast rice (RYR, Artechol®). RYR is an over-the-counter supplement for hypercholesterolemia, since years famous in Asian countries and now also more and more popular in Western countries. The clinical relevance of IgE-mediated inflammation was proven by a rapid clearance of EoE-symptoms upon discontinuation of RYR. The role of skin-prick testing and allergy testing in general in EoE is controversial, but was of high importance in our patient. It demonstrates that in cases of a clear-cut allergy history, together with positive skin-prick (IgE) testing, a broad elimination diet can thus be avoided.
