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

Systemic mastocytosis is a rare clonal mast-cell disorder whose gastrointestinal manifestations may mimic common diseases and delay diagnosis. We present 2 women with longstanding gastrointestinal symptoms, including 1 treated for Crohn's disease for more than 15 years. Gastrointestinal biopsies demonstrated mast-cell infiltrates consistent with systemic mastocytosis, supported by elevated serum tryptase and KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) D816V mutations. Both received mast cell-directed therapy, with differing response and tolerability. These cases highlight the importance of considering systemic mastocytosis in refractory or atypical gastrointestinal disease, particularly when accompanied by skin or skeletal findings.
