Estimation of serum levels of mast cells-related chymase, histamine and diamine oxidase in oral submucous fibrosis- a preliminary report.

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
backgroundMast cell infiltration in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) has been drawn in to play a definitive role in initiation, progression, and symptom like burning sensation. Degranulation products of mast cells like tryptase and chymase have been studied through immunochemistry. The presence of mast cells in close to fibroblasts certainly makes them play a pivotal role in initiation of fibrogenesis in oral mucosa. As OSMF involves the oropharynx and esophagus along with the oral mucosa, the role of certain systemic factors might be considered in this spread apart from local factors. Present study was planned to identify the serum concentrations of various mast cell secretions like histamine and chymase using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Further, diamine oxidase (DAO), an enzyme that metabolizes histamine, was included to evaluate any correlation with serum histamine.
methodsThirty-nine participants were equally divided into 3 groups: OSMF patients, areca chewers without OSMF, and healthy controls. Serum samples collected by drawing blood were estimated for serum histamine, chymase, and diamine oxidase using ELISA kits.
resultsELISA findings revealed significant differences in the serum values of histamine and chymase while concentration of serum DAO was not significant among the three groups. There was a positive correlation between histamine and DAO levels in all the groups.
conclusionMast cell-related bioactive molecules may render a systemic effect during initiation and progression of OSMF. DAO levels may rise linearly to metabolize histamine as a physiological phenomenon.
