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

purpose of reviewHereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HαT) is an autosomal dominant genetic trait and a common cause of elevated basal serum tryptase in Western populations. It is a risk factor for severe anaphylaxis among individuals with venom allergy and an established modifier of anaphylaxis and mast cell mediator-associated symptoms among patients with systemic mastocytosis. Understanding the physiology of tryptases and how this may relate to the clinical features associated with HαT is the first step in identifying optimal medical management and targets for novel therapeutics. RECENT

findingsHαT prevalence is increased in both clonal and non-clonal mast cell-associated disorders where it augments symptoms of immediate hypersensitivity, including anaphylaxis. The unique properties of naturally occurring α/β-tryptase heterotetramers may explain certain elements of phenotypes associated with HαT, though additional mechanisms are being evaluated. This review provides an overview of the clinical and translational studies that have identified HαT as a modifier of mast cell-associated disorders and anaphylaxis and discusses mechanisms that may potentially explain some of these clinical findings.
