Strategies for Tapering the Dosage of Biologics Targeting Type 2 Inflammation: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewThis review evaluates current evidence on tapering strategies for anti-type 2 biologics in chronic inflammatory diseases. Given the need for long-term treatment, optimizing dosage without compromising efficacy is essential for sustainable disease management. RECENT
findingsBiologic dose reduction strategies, such as tapering, de-escalation, dose spacing and interval dose prolongation, are increasingly explored in various type 2 inflammatory diseases, particularly in real-life settings. Studies have shown variable outcomes depending on disease type, patient characteristics, and tapering methods. Nineteen studies met inclusion criteria in this systematic review. The evidence supports the feasibility of dose tapering, especially for dupilumab, in maintaining disease control while reducing drug exposure. However, standardized tapering protocols and clear patient selection criteria remain lacking. Further prospective, controlled studies are needed to define optimal, safe, and personalized de-escalation strategies for long-term management of type 2 inflammatory diseases.
