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

Angioedema with eosinophilia is a rare condition characterized by marked eosinophilia and nonpitting edema. Nonepisodic angioedema with eosinophilia (NEAE) is more common in Japan than in other countries. This study analyzed 12 NEAE cases from Akita Prefecture and 70 cases from the literature to examine clinical features and seasonal patterns. In the Akita cases, patients were predominantly women (91.6%) and in their 20s to 30s. Edema mainly affected the lower legs and dorsum of the hands, with common symptoms, such as arthralgia (50%) and skin issues (50%). The mean eosinophil count was 4,678/µL, and most cases occurred from late summer to autumn. The literature review showed similar demographics to those of the Akita cases, and 87.1% of the patients were women in their 20s to 30s. Common symptoms included weight gain (37.1%) and arthralgia (37.1%), with a mean eosinophil count of 8,914/µL. Over half of the patients had onset between September and December. NEAE cases appeared more frequently during peak
