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

Human mast cells are tissue resident cells with a principal role in allergic disorders. Cross-linking of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (FcepsilonRI) results in release of inflammatory mediators initiating the clinical symptoms of allergy and anaphylaxis. Much of our knowledge regarding the mechanisms of mast cell activation comes from studies of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells. However, clear differences have been identified between human and mouse mast cells. Studies of human mast cells are hampered by the limited sources available for their isolation, the resistance of these cells to genetic manipulation, and differences between cultures established from different persons. To address this limitation, we developed a simple coculture-free method for obtaining mast cells from human embryonic stem cells (hES). These hES-derived mast cells respond to antigen by releasing mast cell mediators. Moreover, the cells can be generated in numbers sufficient for studies of the pathways involved in their effector functions. Genetically modified mast cells, such as GFP-expressing cells, can be obtained by introduction and selection for modification in hES cells before differentiation. This direct coculture-free differentiation of hES cells represents a new and unique model to analyze the function and development of human mast cells.
