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 mastocytosis is a rare and recalcitrant disorder with nonspecific clinical features. Hence, a high index of suspicion is required. Here, we report the case of a 64 years old male presenting with chronic diarrhoea that was evaluated at different centres and treated with multiple lines of therapy. The diagnosis of aggressive systemic mastocytosis was finally clinched following a holistic work up that included a Jejunal biopsy and a laparoscopic lymph node biopsy. Treatment of this disorder is difficult, responses are transient and most patients will eventually relapse, as illustrated by this case. Cladribine, Interferon α, steroids and imatinib have limited success in the management of this disease. The role of stem cell transplant is uncertain.
