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

Eosinophilic colitis (EC) is a rare subtype of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, marked by dense eosinophilic infiltration of the colon in the absence of secondary causes. We report the case of a 48-year-old Ethiopian man with a history of atopic disease who presented with chronic nonbloody diarrhea, intermittent abdominal pain, and fatigue. Diagnostic colonoscopy with biopsy confirmed EC, supported by peripheral eosinophilia and histological findings. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone, leading to complete symptom resolution.
