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.

Abstract

Purpose: Biological therapies targeting eosinophils have been shown to be effective in treating patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Benralizumab (Fasenra Materials and Methods: In this randomized, single-blind study (NCT03928262), healthy Chinese adult participants aged 18 to 45 years, weighing 50 to 100 kg, were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of benralizumab 10 mg, 30 mg, or 100 mg in the upper arms on Day 1. Safety was monitored throughout the study (up to Day 85), and blood samples were taken to determine serum benralizumab concentrations and for detection of anti-drug antibody. A non-compartmental analysis was conducted to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters. Results: Thirty-six healthy participants were enrolled, 12 in each dose group (mean [SD] age 26 [6] years). Following a single SC injection of benralizumab, 13 adverse events were reported by 10 participants (28%), with one mild injection-site reaction assessed as related. The mean serum benralizumab concentrations increased in a dose proportional manner, followed by exponential decreases. The mean terminal half-lives were 15.1 days for the 10 mg dose, 14.4 days for the 30 mg dose, and 15.4 days for the 100 mg dose. All doses resulted in near-complete depletion of eosinophils on Day 2, which was maintained throughout the study to Day 85. Conclusion: A single SC injection of benralizumab was well tolerated by healthy Chinese participants, with no new or unexpected safety findings. The pharmacokinetics of benralizumab in Chinese participants was dose-proportional and consistent with those of non-Chinese participants observed in previous studies. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03928262 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03928262).
