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

introductionMastocytosis is a rare disease characterized by abnormal growth and accumulation of tissue mast cells (MC) in one or more organ systems and is classified as being either cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) or systemic mastocytosis (SM). In the pioneer studies of Slominski's group, a fully functional hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis equivalent has been discovered in various tissues, including skin.

aimIn the present study we investigated potential involvement of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) cutaneous equivalent in ongoing mastocytosis. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe expression of HPA elements: CRH, UCN1, UCN2, UCN3, CRHR1, POMC, MC1R, MC2R and NR3C1 was assessed for their mRNA level in skin biopsies of adult patients with mastocytosis and healthy donors (n = 16 and 19, respectively), while CRH, UCN1, CRHR1, ACTH and MC1R were selected for immunostaining assay (n = 13 and 7, respectively). The expression of CRH receptor 1 (CRHR1) isomers was investigated by RT-PCR. The ELISA was used for detection of cortisol, CRH, UCN and ACTH in the serum.

resultsThe decrease in the expression of HPA element of skin equivalent was observed on both mRNA and protein levels, however quantification of immunohistochemical data was impeded due to melanin in epidermis. Furthermore,

conclusionsTaken together, it was confirmed that the expression elements of HPA was modulated in mastocytosis, thus the potential involvement of general and local stress responses in its pathogenesis should be postulated and further investigated.
