A novel variant BCL11B mutation in a pediatric patient with difficult-to-treat eosinophilic esophagitis.

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 esophagitis (EoE) is an immunoinflammatory disease of the esophagus attributable to a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. While several genetic risk variants have been linked with EoE, we report a novel association between B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11B genetic mutation in a child with dysmorphic facies, developmental delays, atopic comorbidities, and difficult-to-treat EoE. After a prolonged course of EoE and multiple esophagogastroduodenoscopies with biopsies, this patient achieved clinical and histologic remission on a combination of swallowed topical steroids and high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. However, her EoE relapsed when we attempted to wean her off PPI, and it was finally controlled after adding PPI back to her regimen. This report underscores the importance of genetic testing in patients with unusual clinical features and difficult-to-treat EoE. Relevant to real-world clinical practice, this case also raises the question of the treatment goals in children with EoE and underlying genetic mutation(s).
