Eosinophilic Colitis in an Adult Patient: A Case Report.
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
Eosinophilic colitis (EC) is a rare inflammatory condition that often mimics irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), making it difficult to diagnose. It is characterized by significant eosinophilic infiltration in the colon, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. Herein, we present the case of a 43-year-old woman struggling with severe, episodic abdominal pain and unpredictable bowel habits, whose colonoscopy appeared grossly normal. Yet, mucosal biopsies revealed severe eosinophilic infiltration (>100 eosinophils per high-power field) in the cecum and ascending colon, with significant eosinophilia also noted in the transverse colon. These findings confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis. This case underscores the rare but important presentation of EC with endoscopically normal mucosa and highlights how biopsy can be the only clue to an otherwise elusive diagnosis.
