Quantity and Distribution of Eosinophils in the Adult Human Gastric Specimens.
Article in Iranian journal of pathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background & Objective: The existence of eosinophils in the gastric mucosal epithelium is unusual, while the term "eosinophilic gastritis" has become overused due to the increased numbers of eosinophils found in gastric specimens. Thus, we aimed to assess the number and distribution of eosinophils in gastric specimens in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences hospitals. Methods: This study was performed on 318 patients with gastric diseases who had undergone endoscopic biopsy or gastrectomy in the hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University from 2016 to 2018. By referring to the archives of pathology departments, patients' demographic and clinical information, endoscopic and histopathological findings were collected. The data was then statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 24 with a significance level of P-value< 0.05 in all tests. Results: The participants were 157 men and 161 women, with an average age of 51.21 years. There was no significant correlation between eosinophil distribution and age, gender, or primary gastric locations. However, there was a strong correlation between the count of eosinophils in the lamina propria and intestinal metaplasia. Mean eosinophil count per high power field (HPF) was 12, 23, and 14 in mild, moderate, and severe degrees of intestinal metaplasia, respectively. An increase in eosinophil count was seen along with lymphoplasma cells infiltration up to 8/HPF in mild cases, 13/HPF in moderate cases, and 14/HPF in severe cases. Conclusion: Eosinophil counts in the lamina propria layer show a significant positive relationship with the eosinophil sheet, presence of Heliobacter pylori microorganism, intestinal metaplasia, and lymphoplasma cells infiltration.
