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

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are chronic immune-mediated conditions characterized by pathological eosinophilic infiltration. The clinical features and therapies for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) vary between children and adults. However, there is limited comparison of non-EoE EGIDs across different ages of disease onset. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data that included 94 patients (12 juveniles, 57 young adults, and 23 older adults) with a history of non-EoE EGIDs managed in a tertiary hospital. Results: The study included patients with a mean onset age of 36.6 years, 52.1% of whom had allergic comorbidities. Diarrhea was more common in young adults (18-49 years), while nausea and vomiting were predominant in juveniles (0-17 years) compared to older adults (≥50 years). Reduced flatulence and/or defecation were less common in young adults. Ascites were less frequent in older adults. Notably, patients with the same affected gastrointestinal site also exhibited varying manifestations across age groups: young adults with gastric or ileal involvement had higher diarrhea rates (64% and 68.4%, respectively, p < 0.05), while juveniles with gastric/duodenal involvement exhibited higher nausea, vomiting, and ascites, and those with ileal involvement showed higher ascites (p =0.031). Young adults with colonic involvement had reduced flatulence/defecation less frequently (p = 0.005). Juveniles had significantly higher peripheral eosinophil counts (p = 0.040), and higher total serum IgE levels (p =0.002) compared to older adults. Serum albumin levels were significantly higher, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was significantly lower in the juvenile group compared to the young adult group (p = 0.004, p = 0.045) and the older adult group (p = 0.002, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Clinical phenotypes of patients with non-EoE EGIDs vary by age of onset. A comprehensive understanding of the features in symptoms and therapies across different age groups can help accelerate diagnosis and enhance patient care.
