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

backgroundFor patients with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) which cannot be controlled by continuous therapy with intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) and systemic corticosteroids and/or surgical treatment, there were no approved curative options for a long time. For CRSwNP treatment with T2-addressing biologics is possible. On October 24, 2019, the European Commission granted extended approval for dupilumab as the first biological agent for treatment of insufficiently controlled severe CRSwNP. The Federal Joint Committee (G‑BA) evaluates the benefits of reimbursable drugs with new active ingredients. This includes assessment of the additional benefit and its therapeutic relevance.

methodsA meta-analysis was performed using individual patient data based on two phase III studies. Both studies examined the safety and efficacy of dupilumab as an add-on therapy to INCS for treatment of CRSwNP in adults inadequately controlled with systemic corticosteroids and/or surgery compared to INCS alone.

resultsBased on the present data, the G‑BA decided that there is an indication of a considerable additional benefit of dupilumab compared to mometasone furoate.

conclusionFor patients with severe CRSwNP inadequately controlled with INCS and systemic corticosteroids and/or surgery, there is an indication of a considerable additional benefit for the administration of dupilumab as an add-on therapy to INCS compared to mometasone furoate alone.
