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

purpose of reviewAs the rising prevalence and incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has quickly outpaced the rate of esophageal biopsies, particularly in Westernized countries, several studies have suggested a link between intrinsic genetic and extrinsic environmental risk factors and the development, presentation, and diagnosis of EoE. This review aims to critically assess existing studies describing the role of the environment on the development, symptomatic presentation, and diagnosis of this recently recognized chronic immune-mediated disease. RECENT

findingsWe present and critically evaluate the working hypotheses and supportive studies thus far on environmental factors on EoE, describe sources of potential bias in diagnosis due to socioeconomic factors and thus undermining studies of EoE etiology, and highlight opportunities for future research. As genetics alone do not explain the rapid rise of EoE, we must look to environmental, or extrinsic, factors both in the early-life period which shape the development of the gut microbiome, as well as later life contributing to diagnosis of this new disease. Future etiologic studies linking risk factors to EoE development in individual patients are needed.
