Real-World Effectiveness of Omalizumab Treatment in Adult Asthma Patients.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeOmalizumab improves clinical outcomes for patients with severe asthma (SA), but its long-term effectiveness and potential biomarkers for predicting patient response require further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of omalizumab in treating SA and to identify potential biomarkers for predicting a favorable treatment response. MATERIALS AND
methodsClinical outcomes were compared between asthma patients receiving omalizumab (omalizumab group) and those on inhaled corticosteroid with long-acting beta-agonist (ICS-LABA) alone (ICS-LABA group). Propensity score matching and Cox proportional hazards model were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs). Study outcomes included severe asthma exacerbation (SAE), incompletely controlled asthma, intravenous (IV) corticosteroid use, and asthma-related hospitalization. Incompletely controlled asthma was defined by blood eosinophil counts ≥150 cells/µL, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) ≥25 ppb, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%) <80%, or SAE occurrence.
resultsThe omalizumab group had significantly lower risks of SAE (HR 0.17,
conclusionOmalizumab treatment effectively reduces SAE and improves lung function and asthma control. Blood neutrophil counts and serum total IgE may be potential biomarkers for predicting favorable responses to omalizumab treatment.
