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 emerging allergen-mediated disease characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and eosinophilic inflammation. EoE diagnosis requires 15 eosinophils per high power field (eos/HPF) in tissue biopsies endoscopically obtained. The need for several endoscopies to monitoring the disease and the absence of validated non-invasive biomarkers or tools are the main reasons for the significant burden on affected patients and the healthcare system. There is a critical need for non-invasive or minimally invasive biomarkers. In the last years, several efforts have been made to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring the disease that we summarized in this review. The future of EoE is exciting from both a diagnostic and therapeutic standpoint. Further research is required to confirm phenotypes and histological or serological biomarkers to provide a novel endotype classification based on different cytokine or genetic signatures relevant to precision medicine.
