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

Cutaneous mastocytosis commonly manifests with maculopapular lesions. In children, the lesions tend to be large and polymorphic, while in adults, they are typically small and monomorphic. Adults who develop cutaneous manifestations are usually found to have systemic mastocytosis (SM).  In this report, we describe the case of a 42-year-old female patient who developed polymorphic hyperpigmented cutaneous lesions scattered over her chest and abdomen. Punch biopsies of two lesions were obtained and demonstrated increased perivascular and interstitial mast cells. Over the following month, she continued to develop 1-5 mm hyperpigmented macular lesions scattered over her arms, associated with intermittent flushing episodes of the face and chest, pruritus, and a positive Darier's sign. She underwent a bone marrow biopsy, which was negative for dense infiltrates of mast cells; immature, atypical, or spindle-shaped mast cells; expression of CD2, CD25, and CD30; and the
