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

A 38-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital in June 2003 for treatment of acute respiratory failure with severe eosinophilia. Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome had been diagnosed in 1994. However, karyotypic examination of bone marrow cells revealed that chromosomal translocation with t(4;10)(q12;p11) had occurred in 2000, and chronic eosinophilic leukemia was diagnosed. At admission, the patient's respiratory condition was extremely serious, and mechanical support was necessary. Despite treatment with steroid pulse therapy and cytarabine, the blood eosinophil count did not decrease, and the patient's respiratory condition worsened. After obtaining informed consent, we administered imatinib mesylate at a dose of 200 mg/day for 2 days and 100 mg/day for 3 days. The blood eosinophil count decreased dramatically over 5 days, and the patient's condition rapidly improved, such that the patient could be discharged. In this case, we performed molecular analysis using peripheral blood. The FIP1-like 1 (FIP1L1)-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRalpha) fusion transcript was found with the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. In this case, eosinophilia was possibly caused by constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase produced by the FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha fusion transcript.
