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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), a clonal mast cell disease primarily driven by the KIT D816V mutation, often have lifelong debilitating symptoms. Anaphylaxis is a common feature of the disease seen in up to half of patients. The effects of KIT D816V-targeted therapy on the incidence of anaphylaxis are unknown. Methods: We describe anaphylaxis events occurring in the study population of PIONEER (NCT03731260) during the 12-week screening and/or 24-week treatment period. This study had previously demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the oral, highly selective, KIT D816V inhibitor avapritinib compared with placebo in patients with moderate-to-severe ISM. Results: In total, 13/212 (6.1%) patients in PIONEER experienced anaphylaxis during screening or treatment (6 during screening, 5 during treatment, and 2 during both screening and treatment). Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, and known triggers varied. During the randomized, placebo-controlled treatment period, 4/141 (2.8%) avapritinib-treated patients and 3/71 (4.2%) placebo-treated patients experienced anaphylaxis. Conclusions: Larger studies with longer-term follow-up are required to further confirm the effects of avapritinib on anaphylaxis in patients with SM.
