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 efficacy of benralizumab, as well as mepolizumab, to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) involved with mononeuritis multiplex remains unclear. We experienced a case of EGPA presenting neuropathy with severe asthma. Muscle weakness due to neuropathy involved with gait disturbance was partly ameliorated by intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. Mepolizumab (100 mg/day) did not promote further improvement of neuropathy. However, the administration of benralizumab instead of mepolizumab improved neuropathy quickly and enabled walking alone. The efficacy of benralizumab for EGPA and its complication has been maintained for over four years. Benralizumab may be a possible treatment for EGPA presenting neuropathy with severe asthma.
