The Role of Avapritinib for the Treatment of Systemic Mastocytosis.
Review in Cureus, 2021. 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
Systemic mastocytosis is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by the clonal proliferation of mast cells in extra-cutaneous organs. This disease can be further subdivided into five different phenotypes: indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), smoldering systemic mastocytosis (SSM), aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN) and mast cell leukemia (MCL). The tyrosine kinase inhibitor (and also potent KIT D816V inhibitor) avapritinib, initially approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) bearing a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, also showed great promise in patients with systemic mastocytosis, a disease known to be driven by a mutation in KIT (D816V). We present an overview of this rare disorder, including a review of the current understanding of the genetic mechanisms which lead to the disease state, the action of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, as well as the latest clinical trial data which led to the current recommendations for the use of avapritinib.
