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

The burden of autoimmune diseases is rising worldwide. The expansion of the population of patients eligible for severe asthma biological therapy we are seeing in clinical practice could lead to the simultaneous use of different monoclonal antibodies. We present the case of biological combination therapy with ustekinumab and benralizumab in a patient with ulcerative colitis and severe eosinophilic asthma. The patient, already undergoing biological treatment for colitis, began to suffer from uncontrolled severe asthma. Since benralizumab was administered, the patient has not experienced any exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroids, emergency department visits, or hospital admissions, and the control of asthma symptoms and respiratory function considerably improved. Twelve months after the initiation of the combination, both diseases are well controlled, without any side effects or blood test abnormalities. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reported cases of patients simultaneously receiving a combination of biological therapy for ulcerative colitis and asthma.
