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

objectivesTo describe allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis pathophysiology and review the pharmacologic, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, efficacy, and safety data for omalizumab.

methodsMEDLINE, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, and EMBASE Drugs & Pharmacology were searched using olizumab, omalizumab, E25, rhuMAb-E25, and anti-IgE. Combinations of rhinitis, asthma, and IgE captured information on disease pathophysiology.

resultsOmalizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the high-affinity receptor binding site on human immunoglobulin (Ig)E. Bound IgE is not available for basophil binding, degranulation is attenuated, and allergic symptoms are reduced. In asthma trials, omalizumab reduced inhaled corticosteroid and rescue medication requirements and improved asthma control and asthma quality of life in moderate to severe allergic asthmatics with disease poorly controlled by inhaled corticosteroids. In trials of patients with poorly controlled moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), omalizumab reduced the severity of exacerbations and rescue medication use, and improved rhinitis-related quality of life. Benefits were also observed in trials utilizing combinations of immunotherapy and omalizumab for SAR and in trials of perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). Omalizumab has been well tolerated. Although malignant neoplasms have been observed in treated patients, they were likely not related to omalizumab therapy.

conclusionsOmalizumab has demonstrated efficacy in children, adults, and adolescents with uncontrolled moderate to severe allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis. Long-term safety beyond 52 weeks needs continued evaluation.
