Eosinophilic gastroenteritis with negative endoscopic biopsy and no peripheral eosinophilia: A case report.

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
rationaleEosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoGE) is a rare inflammatory disease that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. Klein et al classified EoGE into 3 distinct subtypes according to the depth of eosinophilic infiltration: mucosal, muscular, and serosal. PATIENT CONCERNS: We herein report a case of a 29-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, with no history of adverse reactions to any allergens. Laboratory test results revealed a normal count of peripheral blood eosinophils. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed thickened intestinal walls and ascites in both the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. Multiple endoscopic biopsies targeting several swelling segments of the intestinal wall revealed no increase in the number of eosinophils. DIAGNOSES: The constellation of clinical, laboratory, radiological findings, histopathological data, and the excellent response to corticosteroids led to a diagnosis of EoGE for the patient.
interventionsThe patient was treated with corticosteroids. OUTCOMES: Symptoms improved rapidly, and the thickened intestinal walls returned to a typical level. LESSONS: EoGE should be considered scrupulously, even if the count of eosinophils is in the normal range and the endoscopic biopsy is negative. Obtaining pathology of ascites as much as possible and taking a multisite biopsy sample, including both targeted and random biopsies, may improve the diagnostic rate.
