Mepolizumab Improves Outcomes of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps in Severe Asthmatic Patients: A Multicentric Real-Life Study.

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.
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
Objective: The upcoming introduction of mepolizumab represents a promising treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mepolizumab on sinonasal outcomes of comorbid CRSwNP and severe asthma in a real-life setting. The primary endpoint was to evaluate changes in the SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22 score, Nasal Polyp (NP) score, and blood eosinophil count during a 12-month treatment with mepolizumab. Secondary endpoints were to quantify mepolizumab’s effects on the mentioned parameters, identify clinical variables influencing the degree of response to treatment, and portray responder and nonresponder patients. Methods: A multicentric retrospective no-profit observational study on severe asthmatic patients, treated with mepolizumab, and comorbid CRSwNP was conducted. All patients were followed for at least 12 months. SNOT-22 score, NP score, and blood eosinophil count (and other CRS-specific variables) were collected at baseline and after 12 months. Results: Forty-three patients were included. A statistically significant reduction was observed for SNOT-22 score (mean t0 SNOT-22 54.8 ± 25.9; mean t12 SNOT-22 31.5 ± 21.3, p < 0.0001), NP score (median t0 NPS 3 (IQR 3); median t12 NPS 2 (IQR 4), p < 0.0001), and blood eosinophil count (mean t0 blood eosinophils 804.7 ± 461.5 cell/µL; mean t12 blood eosinophils 107.5 ± 104.6 cell/µL, p < 0.0001) after 12 months of treatment. Twenty patients (47%) gained improvement both in clinical and endoscopic outcome. Mepolizumab responder patients presented a t0 SNOT-22 significantly higher than nonresponders (p = 0.0011). Conclusions: Mepolizumab improved CRSwNP outcomes in a population of severe asthmatic patients. No clinical feature emerged to outline the profile of a “typical” responder patient, except for baseline SNOT-22 score, which seemed to affect the response to treatment. Further studies would be necessary to supplement these preliminary evaluations.
