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

Eosinophilic colitis and hypereosinophilic syndrome with colic involvement are rare diagnosis that are characterized by wide-ranging gastrointestinal symptoms and idiopathic infiltration of eosinophils in the colon. The diagnostic workup is challenging since there are no standardized criteria. We report a case of a man admitted to the hospital with a history of nonbloody chronic diarrhea. The detailed workup demonstrated blood eosinophilia, and the colonic biopsies revealed extensive eosinophilic infiltration. He was treated with steroids with clinical and analytical improvement. Due to relapsing colitis after therapy withdrawal, he was chronically medicated with 10 mg of prednisolone with ultimate symptom control. This case report describes the diagnostic workup and highlights the most important features of this often underdiagnosed entity.
