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

Despite increasing understanding of its pathophysiology, the aetiology of systemic mast cell activation disease (MCAD) remains largely unknown. Research has shown that somatic mutations in kinases are necessary for the establishment of a clonal mast cell population, in particular mutations in the tyrosine kinase Kit and in enzymes and receptors with crucial involvement in the regulation of mast cell activity. However, other, as yet undetermined, abnormalities are necessary for the manifestation of clinical disease. The present article reviews molecular genetic research into the identification of disease-associated genes and their mutational alterations. The authors also present novel data on familial systemic MCAD and review the associated literature. Finally, the importance of understanding the molecular basis of inherited mutations in terms of diagnostics and therapy is emphasized.
