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

Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL) is the rarest form of systemic mastocytosis, a rare group of neoplastic disease that result from clonal proliferation of mast cells and their accumulation in one or more organ systems. The diagnosis of MCL is made by meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 criteria. MCL is further subclassified as leukemic or aleukemic based on presence or absence of circulating mast cells in the peripheral blood and acute versus chronic based on presence or absence of findings indicative of impaired organ function due to mast cell infiltration. A 64-year-old Hispanic male presented with myalgia, diarrhea, urticarial rash, back pain, and fulminant disseminated intravascular coagulation. Bone marrow examination, supplemented by immunohistochemistry results, fulfilled the WHO criteria for the diagnosis of MCL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of aleukemic acute MCL in a Hispanic patient.
