Eosinophilic ascites and enteritis: a neglected case report from Vietnam.

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
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis poses a significant diagnostic challenge, particularly in developing countries, where the awareness of this condition may be limited. Here, the case of a patient in her early 30s, who presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and diarrhea, is reported. Initial standard laboratory investigations revealed normal complete blood counts and elevated total serum immunoglobulin E levels. Upper and lower endoscopic evaluations with systemic biopsies did not reveal any significant abnormalities. However, computed tomography revealed a thickened small intestine wall, halo signs, and mild ascites. Analysis of the ascitic fluid confirmed eosinophilia. These findings prompted a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The patient responded well to a targeted elimination diet, corticosteroids, and antileukotriene medication. The present case emphasizes the importance of considering eosinophilic gastroenteritis in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with abdominal pain and eosinophilic ascites.
