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 accumulation is a hallmark of a number of diseases, including allergic asthma and systemic mastocytosis. Immunoglobulin E-mediated crosslinking of the FcεRI receptors causes mast cell activation and contributes to disease pathogenesis. The mast cell lineage is one of the least studied among the hematopoietic cell lineages, and controversies remain about whether FcεRI expression appears during the mast cell progenitor stage or during terminal mast cell maturation. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomics analysis to reveal a temporal association between the appearance of FcεRI and the mast cell gene signature in CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors in adult peripheral blood. In agreement with these data, the FcεRI+ hematopoietic progenitors formed morphologically, phenotypically, and functionally mature mast cells in long-term culture assays. Single-cell transcriptomics analysis further revealed the expression patterns of prospective cytokine receptors regulating development of mast cell progenitors. Culture assays showed that interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-5 promoted disparate effects on progenitor cell proliferation and survival, respectively, whereas IL-33 caused robust FcεRI downregulation. Taken together, we showed that FcεRI expression appears at the progenitor stage of mast cell differentiation in peripheral blood. We also showed that external stimuli regulate FcεRI expression of mast cell progenitors, providing a possible explanation for the variable FcεRI expression levels during mast cell development.
