Targeting immunoglobulin E as a novel treatment for asthma.
Article in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Omalizumab is a recently developed monoclonal anti-IgE antibody. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in patients with moderate-to-severe and severe or poorly controlled allergic asthma, in patients with seasonal and perennial allergic disease, and in subjects with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis. Patients with more severe asthma appear to obtain the greatest benefit from omalizumab therapy. Omalizumab is well tolerated and has a good safety profile. Anti-inflammatory activity has been shown in both allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis. These results confirm the importance of IgE in allergic disease and support the rationale behind the development of a therapeutic anti-IgE antibody. Omalizumab is a significant addition to current asthma treatments and shows great promise as a therapy for allergic rhinitis, in particular for those patients with concomitant allergic disease.
