Cutaneous mastocytosis: diagnostic challenges and dietary influences.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2025. 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
Cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal mast cell proliferation in the skin. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with recurrent urticaria-like rashes persisting for more than eight years. Despite multiple misdiagnoses as insect bites, examination and biopsy revealed mast cell infiltration. The patient's unique lifestyle, particularly his frequent seafood consumption, adds an intriguing dimension to the case. Treatment with systemic antihistamines and corticosteroids provided symptomatic relief, but long-term follow-up showed the persistence of clinical lesions, indicating that the treatment did not adequately address the underlying cause of the disease. A notable improvement in disease control was observed when the patient's diet was adjusted, suggesting a potential link between food and cutaneous mastocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis in Syria.
