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
Objective: To summarize the clinical, laboratory, imaging, pathological features, treatment and prognosis of eosinophilic cystitis (EC) in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 17 children diagnosed with EC at our hospital from January 2012 to December 2024, combined with literature review. Results: The cohort included 15 males and 2 females, with a median age of 6 years and 3 months. Major symptoms included frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, abdominal pain and distension. Mean disease duration was 42.3 days. Urinalysis showed proteinuria (1+-3+) in 7 cases and leukocyturia in 1 case. Peripheral blood eosinophil percentage averaged 43.6%. All 17 cases had bladder wall thickening on ultrasound; 9 cases were confirmed pathologically by cystoscopic biopsy. Eight cases were complicated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, 3 by gastroscopic pathology. Treatments included anti-allergic therapy (11 cases), prednisone (7 cases), anti-parasitic agents (2 cases) and surgery (2 cases). During follow-up, 16 cases had no recurrence at 2 years; 1 case relapsed during steroid tapering and remained on low-dose prednisone. Conclusion: Pediatric EC presents mainly with urinary irritation and abdominal symptoms. Diagnosis relies on clinical, laboratory, imaging and histological findings. EC is frequently associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Anti-allergic and steroid therapies are effective; surgery is reserved for specific cases. The overall prognosis is favorable.
