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

introductionEosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an eosinophil-associated disease (EAD) characterized by inflammation in small- to medium-sized blood vessels. In the REal-world inVestigation of Eosinophilic-Associated disease overLap (REVEAL) study, overlap among 11 EADs was assessed. In the present sub-study, we evaluated EGPA overlap with other EADs, all-cause EAD- and EGPA-related healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs, and their relationship with blood eosinophil count and treatments received.

methodsREVEAL, a retrospective study, used Optum's de-identified Clinformatics

resultsOf 701 patients with EGPA, 29.5% were in the ICM group. Overall, 72.2% had ≥ 1 overlapping EAD. The number of overlaps was similar for the ICM and non-ICM groups. In patients with blood eosinophil counts ≥ 300 cells/µL, 22.8% had ≥ 1 overlapping EAD. The mean annual all-cause cost was $98,644, 54.1% of which was from outpatients and 33.6% from inpatients. The mean annual EAD- and EGPA-related costs were $23,820 and $9,306, respectively. Patients in the non-ICM group versus the ICM group had higher all-cause ($101,560 vs $91,684) but lower EAD-related ($22,733 vs $26,412) and EGPA-related ($6,171 vs $16,786) costs. All-cause HCRU and costs increased with increasing overlap.

conclusionsEGPA was associated with substantial HCRU and costs, driven by outpatient and inpatient settings. More overlapping EADs were associated with higher HCRU and costs, highlighting the need for treatment to reduce healthcare expenditure in these patients. Infographic available for this article.
