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 (SM) is a heterogeneous disease that often involves the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Activation and accumulation of mast cells in GI organs can result in symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea along with organ damage with more aggressive disease. Mast cell degranulation can also result in anaphylactic reactions, which can be life-threatening. Recognition of GI manifestations is important for gastroenterologists to aid in diagnosis and management when GI involvement is suspected. Edema, small nodules, urticarial lesions and occasionally ulceration in the small bowel and colon are the most commonly described endoscopic findings. Here we describe a case of SM presenting as a large colonic mass and provide a brief review of the literature on GI involvement of SM.
