Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Secondary to Ulcerative Colitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare condition characterized by hypereosinophilia in peripheral blood or tissue infiltrate and organ damage. HES has been associated with several diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), especially ulcerative colitis (UC). In this report, we describe a case of a UC and primary sclerosing cholangitis patient who was diagnosed with HES and severe cardiovascular and neurological injury. During hospitalization, an extensive diagnostic workup was performed and secondary causes of hypereosinophilia were ruled out. The patient was treated with glucocorticoids and full anticoagulation with significant clinical improvement and a marked reduction in the eosinophil count. In the literature, hypereosinophilia in the IBD population has been related to the severity of the disease and worse prognosis. The high index of clinical suspicion and the accurate diagnosis of HES are essential to avoid delay in therapy and prevent complications.
