Hypereosinophilic syndrome mimicking gastric malignancy: considerations on the challenging diagnosis-a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundHypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are rare disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of eosinophils, which can lead to organ damage. The clinical manifestations are highly variable and can sometimes mimic tumors, presenting significant diagnostic challenges. This case report emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosing HES, particularly when it presents as a gastric pseudotumor, and the essential role of pathological examination in guiding diagnosis and treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old Chinese Han female with a history of elevated eosinophils presented with epigastric pain, weight loss, and fatigue. Imaging suggested a gastric malignancy with possible metastasis. Despite these findings, biopsies revealed eosinophilic infiltration without malignancy. Based on persistent eosinophilia and multi-organ involvement, HES was diagnosed. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, resulting in significant clinical improvement, confirmed by follow-up imaging and endoscopic examination.
conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of distinguishing HES from malignancies to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. Early recognition and appropriate corticosteroid treatment can lead to significant improvement, underscoring the importance of careful diagnostic evaluation in cases with ambiguous clinical presentations.
