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 cells (MCs) are essential components of the immune system that enter the circulation as immature bone marrow progenitors and differentiate in peripheral organs under the influence of microenvironment factors. As tissue-resident secretory immune cells, MCs rapidly detect the presence of bacteria and parasites because they harbor many surface receptors, which enable their activation via a multitude of stimuli. MC activation has been traditionally linked to IgE-mediated allergic reactions, but MCs play a pivotal role in different physiological and pathological processes. In gut, MCs are essential for the maintenance of gastrointestinal (GI) barrier function, and their interactions with neurons, immune cells, and epithelial cells have been related to various GI disorders. This review recapitulates intestinal MC roles in diseases with a main focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Emerging therapies targeting MCs and their mediators in clinical practices will also be discussed.
