Omalizumab for the treatment of severe allergic asthma in children: A tale of two.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody which targets immunoglobulin E. It is approved as an add-on therapy for children with severe allergic asthma. Assessment of endotype and phenotype is necessary in order to correctly identify those patients who are most likely to respond to omalizumab. Children with severe asthma represent a complex heterogeneous group. This report outlines the background, management, and outcomes for two children initiated on omalizumab for severe allergic asthma in Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght. It demonstrates the difficulties faced by this cohort and the positive impact targeted biological therapy can have. Given the substantial cohort of children with asthma attending our tertiary center, it also indicates that comprehensive stepwise care can achieve adequate control in the vast majority of cases without the requirement for additional therapies.
