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

A 63 years - old woman affected by severe eosinophilic asthma associated with EGPA presented refractory respiratory symptoms, resistant to high dose oral corticosteroid treatment. A significant hyper-eosinophilia was present at the blood test, and the ACT score was steadily low, despite the maximal dose of inhalation therapy. The CT chest scan showed a persistent diffuse bronchial wall thickening, pulmonary infiltration and paranasal sinusitis. We report here the rapid onset of effect of benralizumab 30 mg in a monthly subcutaneous injection in reducing patient's symptom, inducing regression of CT scan abnormalities, determining a steroid sparing effect and improving lung function tests after 3 months of therapy. A fast and stable reduction of peripheral eosinophilia associated with an increase in ACT score were also documented after the first dose of benralizumab.
