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

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare type of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis. Nevertheless, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis stands apart because it has features of vasculitis and eosinophilic disorders that require targeted therapies somewhat different from those used for other anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitides. Considerable advances have been made in understanding the underlying pathophysiology of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis that have highlighted the key role of eosinophils and opened new therapeutic opportunities. Its conventional treatment relies mainly on agents that decrease inflammation: corticosteroids and immunosuppressant adjunction for severe manifestations. New therapeutic approaches are needed for refractory disease, relapses and issues associated with corticosteroid dependence, especially for asthma manifestations. Drugs under evaluation mostly target eosinophils and B cells. Results of low-evidence-based trials suggested possible efficacies of biologicals: B-cell-blocking rituximab and anti-immunoglobulin E omalizumab. Recently, the first large-scale randomised controlled trial on eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis proved the efficacy of anti-interleukin-5 mepolizumab. That finding opens a new era in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis management, with mepolizumab approval but also in future drug evaluations and trial designs for eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Additional studies are needed to determine which patients would benefit most from targeted therapies and achieve personalised treatment for patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Herein, we review eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis characteristics and provide an overview of established and novel pharmacological agents.
