Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome associated with multivessel coronary artery ectasia: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 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
We report a rare case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (iHES) associated with extensive multivessel coronary artery ectasia (CAE), a vascular complication seldom described in this condition. A 56-year-old man with known iHES presented with progressive exertional chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed diffuse ectasia of all major epicardial coronary arteries, with a critical stenosis in the mid-right coronary artery. Secondary causes of eosinophilia were excluded, and no clinical or serological evidence of vasculitis or connective tissue disease was found. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and dual antiplatelet therapy, with a favorable outcome. This case illustrates the potential for eosinophil-mediated vascular injury in iHES and emphasizes the need for comprehensive cardiovascular assessment in patients with persistent hypereosinophilia, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. Increased awareness of this underrecognized manifestation may help guide timely diagnosis and management.
