Mepolizumab for the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps across the United States: A retrospective study.

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
Background: Retrospective data are limited on the effectiveness of mepolizumab treatment that is reflective of real-world practice in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Objective: We evaluated changes in administration of nasal polyp (NP)-related oral corticosteroids (OCS) and other treatments, exacerbations, sinus surgeries, NP-related health care resource utilization, and costs before and after mepolizumab initiation in patients with CRSwNP. Methods: Retrospective cohort study using data from the Komodo Research database included adults with CRSwNP, without severe asthma, initiating mepolizumab therapy on or after July 29, 2021 (index date), with 12 months of continuous health care enrollment before index and ≥6 months after index. Treatment with reslizumab, benralizumab, or tezepelumab during the study period was excluded. Outcomes were compared pre- versus post-mepolizumab initiation for the overall population and on-label subgroup analysis. Results: Mean number of NP-related OCS dispensings per patient per year (PPPY) (0.5 after vs 1.2 before therapy initiation), total mean OCS dose (119.1 vs 309.9 mg), mean daily OCS dose per period (0.3 vs 0.8 mg), and mean number of OCS bursts (0.3 vs 0.7) were significantly lower after versus before initiation, respectively (all Conclusion: In this first retrospective mepolizumab study for patients with CRSwNP without severe asthma, improvements in all outcomes were observed after mepolizumab initiation.
