Taking a Breather: Advances in Interleukin 5 Inhibition for Asthma Relief.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a major cytokine responsible for eosinophil proliferation, migration and degranulation. Eosinophils play a considerable role in the manifestation of type 2 asthma, and therefore this makes IL-5 a unique and clinically important target for therapeutic intervention. Due to the critical role that IL-5 plays in all areas of eosinophil activity, it has been identified and targeted by three therapeutics, Mepolizumab, Benralizumab and Reslizumab. This review describes the IL-5 pathway and presents the clinical trial history of the three IL-5 inhibitors, to provide insight into the role of IL-5 in clinical asthma presentation. Additionally, this review aims to foster further investigation into the IL-5 pathway by describing current novel therapeutic discovery strategies with monoclonal antibodies.
