Clinical features of hypereosinophilic syndrome: FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene-positive disease is a distinct clinical entity with myeloproliferative features and a poor response to corticosteroid.

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
We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical features of 20 patients with severe eosinophilia at our institution, including 10 cases of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) (5 definite and 5 probable cases) and 10 cases of other eosinophilic disorders. Of the 20 patients, 14 initially received prednisolone treatment, which resulted in rapid improvement and normalization of eosinophilia within 8 weeks; however, 2 patients with splenomegaly showed poor control of eosinophilia in response to corticosteroid treatment. In addition, the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene was detected only in these 2 cases. One of the FIP1L1-PDGFRA - positive HES cases featured bone marrow fibrosis. Treatment of this patient with imatinib mesylate resulted in a dramatic improvement of eosinophilia, organomegaly, and the bone marrow fibrosis. Taken together, our data and previous reports suggest that FIP1L1-PDGFRA - positive HES is a distinct clinical entity with myeloproliferative features and showing a poor response to corticosteroid treatment.
