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

Background: Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin, has demonstrated efficacy for severe asthma in clinical trials, but real-world evidence remains limited. We aimed to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients initiating tezepelumab in a real-world setting. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicentre cohort study across four tertiary care centres to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of tezepelumab in patients with severe asthma. Eligible patients were adults with a confirmed diagnosis of severe asthma, treated with tezepelumab. Data on exacerbation rates, pulmonary function and corticosteroid use were collected and analysed at baseline and 1-year follow-up. Results: The study included 103 patients treated with tezepelumab with a median (interquartile range) duration of 323 (267-359) days. Overall, 39% had prior biologic therapy and 32% had an eosinophil count <300 cells·μL Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, treatment with tezepelumab for a median of 46 weeks was associated with improved asthma control, reductions in exacerbations, mOCS and inhaled corticosteroid doses, and a low symptom burden. These findings were consistent in biologic-experienced or low-eosinophil patients.
