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
Esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration, including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), can rarely present with ulceration or stricture. We report a rare case of positron emission tomography-positive esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by ulceration and stricture, requiring differentiation from esophagogastric junction carcinoma. A 50-year-old man with no history of allergies underwent computed tomography, which revealed para-esophageal lymphadenopathy and circumferential thickening of the distal esophagus. Endoscopy showed an ulcerated stricture with an iodine-unstained area. Positron emission tomography demonstrated fluorodeoxyglucose uptake at the lesion site. Multiple endoscopic biopsies (11 specimens) were negative for malignancy but revealed 70 eosinophils per high-power field, fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for EoE. Hiatal hernia was also observed, suggesting the possibility of concomitant reflux esophagitis. Significant dysphagia persisted due to the severe stricture. Therefore, endoscopic bougie dilation was carefully performed under general anesthesia. After 8 weeks of proton pump inhibitor therapy, mucosal healing was confirmed, and topical steroids were initiated for persistent eosinophilic infiltration. This case highlights that esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by ulceration and stricture may require differentiation from cancer.
