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: Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome currently represents a major unmet need for all medical specialties dealing with this disease. Markers capable of characterising the wide variability of its clinical presentation are currently lacking. Objective: This study aims to evaluate a panel of possible markers in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. Methods: In this pilot prospective single-centre cohort study, we analysed clinical (age, years of disease, steroid therapy) and laboratory (absolute eosinophil count, total IgE antibodies, IgE antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins, serum eosinophil cationic protein, serum immunoglobulin free light chains k and λ and their ratio) data obtained from 21 patients suffering from idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome from June 2023 to December 2024. Results: Mean absolute eosinophilic count was 3758.57 cells/μL. 17 patients were receiving treatment with > 7.5 mg of prednisone or equivalent at the time of the diagnosis. 13 patients had positive Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins IgE, while the mean total serum IgE was 241.64 kU/L. We observed a high serum eosinophil cationic protein value as well as a high serum κ free light chain, while serum λ and κ/λ were normal. Patients with higher absolute eosinophilic count had higher eosinophil cationic protein levels ( Conclusion: Our results could increase the number of possible biomarkers for risk stratification in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.
