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

Systemic mast cell activation syndrome is a mast cell disorder characterized by an unregulated increased activation of mast cells leading to a pathologically enhanced release of mediators. Mutations in tyrosine kinase kit which crucially determines mast cell activity have been suggested as a necessary condition for the development of a clinically symptomatic mast cell disease. At the level of mRNA in mast cell progenitor cells of 20 patients with systemic mast cell activation syndrome and of 20 gender- and age-matched healthy volunteers, the tyrosine kinase kit was investigated for genetic alterations by means of RT-PCR and direct sequencing of the amplificates. In mast cells of 13 out of these 20 patients, multiple predominantly novel potential functionally activating point mutations or complex alterations of the mRNA sequence encoding the tyrosine kinase kit were detected. In contrast, in 19 of the 20 healthy subjects, no functionally relevant alterations of c-kit transcripts were detected. The present findings support the idea that the systemic mast cell activation syndrome is a clonal disease most commonly associated with variable activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase kit.
