Efficacy and Safety of Mepolizumab in Patients With Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a systemic vasculitis characterized by eosinophil-rich, necrotizing granulomatous inflammation primarily affecting the respiratory tract with necrotizing vasculitis of small- to medium-sized arteries. In this case series, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab in seven patients diagnosed with EGPA who presented to the Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. The variables assessed before and after mepolizumab treatment included Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS), prednisolone dose, Asthma Control Test (ACT) score, and blood eosinophil count (BEC). We found a significant reduction in BVAS and prednisolone dosage with clinical improvements in asthma symptoms after treatment with mepolizumab. Our case series, the first from the Middle East on the use of mepolizumab in EGPA, demonstrates that mepolizumab is a safe and effective treatment for patients with EGPA.
