Subthreshold eosinophilia during food impaction may mask eosinophilic esophagitis: A pediatric case series.

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
To describe the clinical scenario and need for longitudinal follow-up of pediatric patients presenting with esophageal food impactions (EFIs) regardless of esophageal biopsy eosinophil count. A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients with EFI who underwent endoscopic evaluation from August 2022 to August 2024. Patients demonstrating eosinophils per high-power field (HPF) between 1 and 14 were identified, and longitudinal assessment evaluated for potential eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) diagnosis. Four patients presented with EFI and sub-diagnostic eosinophilic counts (1-14 eosinophils/HPF) were assessed longitudinally. In all cases, repeat endoscopy showed an increase in eosinophils, confirming EoE (eosinophils ≥ 15/HPF). EFI is a potential presenting sign of EoE, but initial biopsy results during EFI often show sub-diagnostic eosinophilic counts. Our findings underscore the need for adequate biopsy procurement at the time of EFI, longitudinal follow-up, and repeat endoscopy for accurate EoE diagnosis during EFI.
