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

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus that occurs in both children and adults. Previous studies of affected tissue from pediatric cohorts have identified prominent signatures of eosinophilia and type 2 inflammation. However, the details of the immune response in adults with EoE are still being elucidated. To determine whether EoE in adults shares inflammatory profiles with those observed in children, we performed RNA sequencing of paired human esophageal biopsies and blood samples from adults with EoE or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Unbiased analysis of differentially expressed genes in tissue revealed a strong IFN signature that was significantly enriched in EoE patients as compared with patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Both type I and type II IFN-responsive genes were upregulated in adult biopsies, but not in blood. A similar increase in expression of IFN gene sets was observed in pediatric EoE biopsies as compared with non-EoE samples, and in public pediatric and adult RNA-sequencing data. Finally, we found that human peripheral CD4
