A Case of Simultaneous Eosinophilic Pancreatitis and Eosinophilic Colitis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 24-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a diffusely enlarged pancreas with increased attenuation of the surrounding peripancreatic fat. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed on the hypoechoic area in the pancreatic head, and a histological examination of an EUS-FNA specimen revealed marked eosinophilic infiltration (≥20/HPF). In addition, colonoscopy (CS) revealed redness, erosion, and edema extending from the cecum to the ascending colon, and a CS biopsy revealed marked eosinophilic infiltration (≥20/HPF). The patient was thus diagnosed with simultaneous eosinophilic pancreatitis (EP) and eosinophilic colitis (EC) and was treated with prednisolone. His symptoms improved within a few days, and CT performed two weeks later showed improvement in the diffusely enlarged pancreas, allowing prednisolone to be gradually tapered. The present case demonstrates the importance of pathological examinations in the differential diagnosis of EP and its likely complications (e.g., EC in this case).
