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

Background: Few studies on the long-term efficacy of benralizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 receptor α monoclonal antibody, have been conducted for patients with severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA), especially regarding the improvement of pulmonary function and clinical remission in a real-world setting. Objective: To elucidate the long-term efficacy and clinical remission rate (CRR) in patients with SEA. Methods: From July 2018 to July 2022, 23 Japanese patients with SEA received benralizumab for two years or more at Jikei University Hospital. We retrospectively evaluated the patients' characteristics, biomarkers, number of exacerbations, pulmonary function, asthma symptoms, maintenance oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose and CRR. Results: The mean observation period was 38.3 (24-49) months. Among the 23 patients, 10 patients switched from mepolizumab to benralizumab. After administration of benralizumab, the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Conclusion: Long-term treatment with benralizumab significantly improved pulmonary function, alleviated asthma symptoms and decreased the number of exacerbations at two years in a real-world setting. The CRR may be associated with the BBC at baseline.
