Allergic hyper-carcinoembryonic antigen syndrome: A syndrome summarized by case series.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Allergic respiratory diseases can increase serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels. We report three cases experiencing allergic symptoms that proved refractory to inhaled corticosteroids but exhibited a positive response to long-term treatment with oral corticosteroids. This response was characterized by a synchronous alteration in serum eosinophil counts and carcinoembryonic antigen levels. Immunofluorescence assays indicated localized carcinoembryonic antigen production within eosinophils. In addition, we conducted a systematic review of patients exhibiting similar characteristics on PubMed. After comprehensively reviewing this unique pathophysiological condition, we herein introduced a novel term "Allergic hyper-carcinoembryonic antigen syndrome," defined by the following criteria: (1) recurrent asthmatic attacks; (2) eosinophilia or pulmonary eosinophilic infiltrations accompanied by elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels; (3) pulmonary lesions determined by imaging or biopsy; (4) exclusion of malignancy and infections; and (5) responsive to systemic corticosteroids. Allergic hyper-carcinoembryonic antigen syndrome suggests systemic corticosteroids should be introduced early when managing allergic patients with both eosinophilia and elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels.
