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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in the treatment of severe uncontrolled Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP), with or without asthma as add-on therapy with intra-nasal corticosteroids in a real-life setting over the first year of treatment. Our data demonstrated that subcutaneous 300 mg dupilumab administered at home via a pre-filled auto-injector every two weeks, based on indications set by the Italian Medicines Agency, was rapidly effective in reducing the size of polyps, decreasing symptoms of disease, improving quality of life, and recovering olfaction. Significant improvement was observed after only 15 days of treatment, and it progressively increased at 6 and 12 months. Dupilumab was also effective in reducing the local nasal eosinophilic infiltrate, in decreasing the need for surgery and/or oral corticosteroids, and in improving control of associated comorbidities such as chronic eosinophilic otitis media and bronchial asthma. After 12 months of treatment, 96.5% of patients had a moderate/excellent response. From our data, it was evident that there was a group of patients that showed a very early response within one month of therapy, another group with early response within six months from baseline, and a last group that improved later within 12 months. The results of this study support the use of dupilumab as an effective option in the current standard of care for patients affected by severe uncontrolled CRSwNP.
