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

Background and Aims: Eosinophilic colitis (EC) is a rare gastrointestinal inflammation of the colon characterized by eosinophilic infiltration into the colonic wall. The study aimed to assess the socioeconomic factors associated with EC. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample, including adult patients (≥18 years) admitted with EC. Results: Among 4353 EC cases identified, males are more likely to be hospitalized than females (51.8% vs 48.2%, Conclusion: Caucasians, males, and those with private insurance were more likely to be diagnosed with EC. The correlation between insurance coverage and hospitalizations shows health-care disparities and implies the need for equitable health-care delivery.
