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

Cutaneous mastocytosis is a neoplasm characterized by the proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in the skin. There can be involvement of other organ systems as well. Cutaneous manifestations can vary from mastocytoma to maculopapular lesions to diffuse cutaneous form. There can be symptoms associated with mast cell mediators release like itching, flushing, hypotension, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and anaphylaxis. Hence, the mainstay of treatment is avoidance of triggers causing these mediators to release, anti-histamines, topical/intra-lesional/systemic steroids, mast cell-targeted therapy, epinephrine, and omalizumab depending upon the severity of symptoms/signs. Childhood cases usually have a good prognosis except in a few cases, especially those with systemic involvement. Such situations might warrant cytoreductive therapy, polychemotherapy, or autologous stem cell transplantation. Here, we intend to review the English literature on childhood cutaneous mastocytosis.
