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

introductionThe emergency of biologics and surgical techniques targeting the specific inflammatory endotype in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) asks for efficient identification of patients with different endotypes. Although mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE have been used to define type 2 (T2) inflammation, the optimal one remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine the optimal anchor for T2 inflammation and identify clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers predicting different endotypes in CRSwNP.

methodsSix mediators in sinonasal tissue and 36 mediators in nasal secretion samples were detected by the Bio-Plex suspension array system. Mucosal IFN-γ and IL-17A levels were used to define the T1 and T3 endotype, respectively. The efficacy of mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE to define the T2 endotype was compared. The power of clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers to predict the T1, T2, and T3 endotype was analyzed.

resultsAmong mucosal IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IgE, IL-13 was the best one to coincide with the expression of other T2 biomarkers. A combination of atopy, facial pain symptom score, ethmoid/maxillary computed tomography score ratio, and blood eosinophil percentage had a moderate predictive performance for T2 endotype (area under the receiver operating curve [AUC] = 0.815), comparable to that of nasal secretion IL-5 (AUC = 0.819). For the T3 endotype, nasal secretion IL-1Rα identified it with an AUC value of 0.756. No efficient marker for the T1 endotype was found.

conclusionIL-13 is a primary anchor for the T2 endotype in CRSwNP. Clinical characteristics and nasal secretion biomarkers are helpful for identifying the T2 and T3 endotype of CRSwNP.
