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

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is considered a systemic type 2 immune driven disease, and it is associated to many atopic comorbidities including asthma. The aim of our study was to prospectively evaluate the respiratory outcomes in patients with persistent allergic asthma treated with dupilumab due to severe AD (sAD). Methods: We enrolled eligible patients with sAD for dupilumab treatment from September 2018 to December 2020. We then selected the subgroup of patients sensitized to perennial allergens. Dupilumab's efficacy and safety on AD and comorbid asthma were assessed at baseline, one month, four months, and then every 4 months up to one year. Results: A total of 437 patients with sAD were enrolled for dupilumab treatment due to sAD, and 273 reached 48 weeks of therapy. Respiratory outcomes were evaluated in the 85 asthmatic patients with positivity only to perennial allergens. Our patients showed statistically and clinically significant improvement in asthma control (Asthma Control Test and Asthma Control Questionnaire) and airway obstruction parameters (FEV1), in addition to the expected AD-related skin outcomes. Specifically, a significant improvement was achieved at the fourth month of dupilumab therapy, and this trend was maintained up to twelve months, regardless of asthma severity. Conclusions: Our results showed the overall improvement of the clinical picture that dupilumab offers for patients with severe AD and persistent allergic asthma of any severity, highlighting the importance of a global multidisciplinary approach of type 2 driven disease.
