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

Crohn's disease (CD) and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are distinct inflammatory entities, but eosinophilic disease may emerge as a paradoxical immune complication of anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy. We report a 12-year-old boy with terminal ileal CD who developed severe eosinophilic gastritis and ileitis, peripheral eosinophilia, and psoriasiform dermatitis during prolonged anti-TNF treatment, despite CD remission. Corticosteroids, dietary modification, and sequential biologic therapy resulted in incomplete or transient responses. Following anti-TNF withdrawal, eosinophilic disease persisted, prompting compassionate off-label treatment with benralizumab, an interleukin-5 (IL-5) receptor α-antagonist, alongside vedolizumab for CD maintenance. Benralizumab led to rapid normalization of peripheral eosinophil counts, resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms, improved food tolerance, and histologic remission at 6 months. This case illustrates persistent anti-TNF-associated immune deviation and supports targeted IL-5 receptor blockade as an effective strategy for refractory eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease while maintaining CD remission.
