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

The eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are a group of chronic, immune-mediated gastrointestinal (GI) diseases characterized by GI symptoms and pathologic eosinophilic infiltration of specific areas within the GI tract in the absence of secondary causes of eosinophilia. The non-eosinophilic esophagitis EGIDs remain understudied and likely underdiagnosed, owing in part to the lack of clarity in the terminology previously used to describe these diseases. The newly established EGID nomenclature framework includes a first-tier description of the specific location of GI tract involvement and a second-tier description with more granular characterizations of disease involvement. EGIDs can involve any segment or layer of the GI tract, so patients can present with a wide array of common, nonspecific GI symptoms. Diagnosing EGIDs requires endoscopic evaluation and biopsies showing increased eosinophilic tissue infiltration in the correct clinical context after ruling out other causes of eosinophilia. Although the pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, EGIDs are likely allergic conditions triggered by food antigen exposure. Most patients are currently treated with corticosteroids, but investigations of other pharmacologic and dietary therapies are ongoing. This article highlights the recently updated EGID nomenclature and summarizes the current understanding of the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of EGIDs.
