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

introductionThis was a sub-group analysis of patients with uncontrolled persistent allergic asthma (AA) in the healthcare setting of the Czech Republic, from a global non-interventional, 2-year post-marketing, observational eXpeRience registry.

aimTo evaluate the real-life effectiveness and safety of omalizumab. MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients with uncontrolled persistent AA (currently defined by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) as uncontrolled severe AA) who started omalizumab treatment 15 weeks before inclusion in the registry were analysed for physicians' global evaluation of treatment effectiveness (GETE), asthma symptoms, corticosteroid use, exacerbation rate, asthma control, quality of life, healthcare utilisation and safety during a 24-month observation period.

resultsOne hundred and fourteen patients from the Czech Republic were enrolled in the eXpeRience registry. A total of 88.9% of the patients were evaluated as responders to omalizumab according to the GETE assessment at week 16. From baseline to month 24: mean change in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV

conclusionsThe results of this subgroup analysis support the evidence that add-on omalizumab therapy is effective and well tolerated for management of patients with uncontrolled persistent AA in the Czech Republic. Global evaluation of treatment effectiveness assessment is a reliable predictor of long-term response to omalizumab treatment.
