Aggressive systemic mastocytosis with multiple organ involvement: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 is a rare malignancy whose main diagnostic finding is the abnormal proliferation of clonal mast cells. In this report, a 63-year-old woman is presented who was referred to the emergency department with lower back pain. Due to the hypereosinophilia in blood tests, a bone marrow biopsy was performed, and except for the presence of a large number of mastocytes, no other pathologic findings were seen. Furthermore, the immunohistochemistry test showed positive CD117 and CD25 markers, and the patient's platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha test was positive. Hence, the patient was diagnosed with aggressive systemic mastocytosis. Treatment was initiated with the Cladribine regimen, but unfortunately, in the third course, the patient experienced bradycardia and loss of consciousness and expired. Systemic mastocytosis can manifest itself with non-cutaneous symptoms. Non-cutaneous symptoms do not rule out systemic mastocytosis as a differential diagnosis in patients with hypereosinophilia.
