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

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent airway disease, leading to health, social, and economic burdens, and substantially impairs quality of life. As CRS is heterogeneous and contains diverse pathogenesis, treatment outcomes and prognosis vary from curative to intractable. Inflammatory endotypes of CRS are divided into 3 types-type 1, type 2 and type 3-based on cytokines promoted. Tissue/blood eosinophilia seems to be the most reliable and feasible biomarker for type 2 CRS in clinical settings, although the cutoff level of eosinophilia remains to be elucidated. In East Asia, the predominant pathogenesis has changed from neutrophilic type 3 inflammation to eosinophilic type 2 inflammation over the past decades. The treatment strategy for CRS has also evolved from classical phenotype-based "reliever-controller" treatment to endotype-based "treatable traits" treatment. "Treatable traits" treatment is a personalized approach for the management of airway disease with complex and heterogeneous conditions. In CRS, traits can be grouped into sinonasal, extra-nasal and risk factor/behavioral domains. Type 2 CRS is one of the sinonasal traits, and biologics targeting immunoglobulin E, interleukin (IL)-5 and its receptor, IL-4/IL-13 receptor (IL-4/IL-13R) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin are the corresponding treatments for this trait. Proper use of these biologics can achieve high efficacy with patient satisfaction, leading to clinical remission. However, some cases show marked hypereosinophilia after the reduction or discontinuation of systemic corticosteroid or the switching of biologics from anti-IL-5/IL-5R to anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody. More precise research on CRS targeting endotype, genotype, regiotype and theratype is needed to address the unmet needs and refine the "treatable traits" treatment of CRS.
