Acute Exacerbation of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Complicated With Dermatitis, Enteritis, and Myositis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a disease that presents with a variety of symptoms caused by an abnormal rise in eosinophils in the blood and infiltration into various organs. Typical symptoms include skin symptoms and diarrhea. Diagnosis may be difficult because of the self-limiting phases of the disease with various symptoms. In addition, diagnosis may be delayed by the presence of rare concomitant symptoms, such as muscle pain and numbness. Here, we report the case of a 67-year-old patient with asymptomatic hypereosinophilia with chronic diarrhea, acute-onset weakness, and myalgia. We diagnosed eosinophilic gastroenteropathy, chronic urticaria, and eosinophilic myositis through multiple biopsies of the skin and colon. This case shows that chronic hypereosinophilic syndrome can be exacerbated transiently with acute symptoms and that prompt examination and treatment of hypereosinophilic syndrome based on the involved organs is recommended in a background of eosinophilia.
