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 airway inflammation with variable airflow obstruction is clinical asthma, and it arises from distinct molecular and pathological mechanisms called endotypes. Biomarkers allow for precise endotype characterization and have been used in clinical trials to design, monitor, and evaluate outcomes for asthma biologic therapies. This review will highlight the central and evolving role of biomarkers for past, present, and future asthma, with a focus on regulatory-approved biologic therapies and emerging biomarkers. Established biomarkers, including serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), blood eosinophils, the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and serum periostin, helped elucidate the complex pathophysiology of the eosinophilic type 2 (T2) asthma endotype. Emerging biomarkers, or older biomarkers with emerging utility, include sputum inflammatory cells (eosinophils, neutrophils, interleukins), thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), plasma eotaxin-3, eosinophil peroxidase (EPX), Clara/club cell secretory protein (CC16), and quantitative computerized tomography (QCT) imaging biomarkers (evaluating mucus plugging, air trapping, airway wall thickness, small airway remolding) and are increasingly used in clinical trials as secondary endpoints in evaluating efficacy, as well as in the clinical setting at specialized centers. The rapid advances in asthma research, due in part to biomarkers and biologic therapies, may soon standardize an end goal: symptom-free asthma remission without exacerbations.
