Endoscopic Ultrasonography in Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis-A Review.
Review in Pediatric reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a diagnostic endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract, during which ultrasound of nearby organs is also performed. It is also possible to perform a fine needle aspiration biopsy. Currently, EUS is performed more frequently in adults. Despite some limitations, this diagnostic method is also more and more often performed in pediatric patients. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus, which also occurs in children, and leads to irreversible fibrosis of the esophagus wall, if left untreated. Traditional methods of diagnosing and monitoring EoE treatment have significant limitations, and the use of EUS and total esophageal wall thickness (TWT) assessment may bring measurable benefits. Several studies have shown an increased thickening of TWT in EoE in children compared to pediatric patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, and a decrease in TWT in adults who responded to EoE treatment. These results suggest that EUS and TWT measurement may become an important test in diagnostics, monitoring the effectiveness of therapy, assessing disease progression, and in individualizing the method and duration of EoE treatment also in children.
