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 oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune and antigen-mediated disease characterized by symptoms related to oesophageal dysfunction, and histologically, is marked by eosinophilic infiltrate in the oesophageal mucosa. It is prevalent in developed countries and considered rare in developing countries. There is an interplay of allergic and genetic factors in the aetiology of EoE. This is a report of EoE in a 15-year-old female adolescent in Nigeria who presented to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital with recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss, and dysphagia. She had received treatment for Gastro-oesophageal disease three years earlier and was lost to follow-up. Weight on admission was 39 kg and height 170 cm with a BMI below the 3
