Clinical outcomes of dupilumab therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in a Canadian tertiary care rhinology practice.

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
backgroundIn 2020, dupilumab became the first monoclonal antibody therapy to be approved by Health Canada for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The primary aim of this study was to characterize the outcomes in an initial cohort of patients with CRSwNP who have undergone dupilumab therapy.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted of patients with CRSwNP who were treated with dupilumab. Demographic information, comorbidities, number of previous surgeries, and insurance information were collected. The primary outcome were changes in the sinonasal outcome test (SNOT-22) scores from baseline to timepoints after receiving dupilumab.
resultsForty-eight patients were considered for dupilumab therapy, and 27 (56%) received coverage or were able to fund the medication independently. Patients waited an average of 3.6 months to obtain access to the medication. The mean age of the patients was 43. Forty-one percent (11/27) of patients had aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, and 96% (26/27) had a diagnosis of asthma. The mean length of time on dupilumab was 12.1 months. The baseline SNOT-22 score was 60.6. The mean decrease at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after starting dupilumab was 8.8, 26.5, 42.8, and 33.8, respectively. There were no serious adverse events.
conclusionPatients treated with dupilumab in a Canadian tertiary care rhinology clinic demonstrated substantial clinical improvement as measured by disease-specific sinonasal outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine the longer-term effectiveness and adverse event profile of this novel therapy.
