Eosinophilic gastroenteritis in an elderly men associated with antibiotic use post maxillofacial space infection: a case report.

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
A 79-year-old man underwent operative drainage and 2-week cephalosporin treatment due to a maxillofacial space infection (bilateral submaxillaris, submentum, and left face). However, he experienced anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and emaciation in the following 2 months. It was initially considered that a malignancy might be present, thus a series of examinations were performed. Laboratory investigations showed increases in inflammatory markers and a significant eosinophilia, which seemed to be a hematological system disease. Combined with the gastrointestinal endoscopes and histology examination, the patient was diagnosed with eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE). After cessation of antibiotic treatment and administration of corticosteroid, our patient experienced a rapid progress in his clinical condition. Despite the low incidence, EGE should be considered in patients with unknown cause of gastrointestinal disorder, elevated eosinophilia, and so on.
