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

Introduction: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoG) is a rare condition with a yet poorly understood pathophysiology. Case Presentation: We report on a case of a 36-year-old woman with a history of atopy presenting with nausea, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and ascites. Laboratorial analysis revealed peripheral eosinophilia and a slight elevation of inflammatory markers. The patient pursued medical assistance several times with a delay in the diagnosis. The pathway to the diagnosis of EoG with serosal infiltration and further management is presented. Discussion: Despite being diagnosed by exclusion, it is important to suspect EoG with subserosa involvement in patients presenting with the uncommon association of peripheral eosinophilia and ascites, particularly if there is a history of atopy.
