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

backgroundEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus that effects both pediatrics and adult patients in Canada and is increasing in prevalence. No Canadian focused best practice recommendations currently exist to guide clinical practice.

methodsThe study used a modified Delphi technique to develop evidence and expert opinion-based recommendations for providing care for patients with EoE. The Delphi process consisted of 3 rounds of quantitative surveys and qualitative consensus meetings. Experts were included in the Delphi if they had experience caring for EoE patients in Canada within one of the following professional groups: allergist, adult gastroenterologists, pathologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, and dieticians.

resultsDelphi rounds were completed between May 1, 2024, and June 30, 2024. A total of 31 experts in EoE care from across Canada were recruited to participate in the Delphi consensus process. All participants completed all three rounds of Delphi surveys. The final statement includes 38 recommendations for the care of patients with EoE organized into three sections: definition, diagnosis, and management. A Table of research gaps is provided to stimulate further knowledge development on this topic.

conclusionThis consensus statement includes actionable recommendations to support quality care of patients with EoE at any age across Canada. We encourage EoE centers in Canada to come together in a multi-disciplinary form to not only provide clinical care but also do much needed research on Canadian specific topics and gaps in EoE care.
