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

Rationale: Genetic risk scores (GRS) of Th1/2/17-related loci may be associated with response to biologics. We leveraged previously published machine learning-derived GRSs associated with plasma proteins from the INTERVAL/UK-Biobank study. Methods: We assessed 42 Th1/2/17-related GRSs and SNPs for association with response (≥50% reduction in exacerbations) to biologics in 172 White patients with moderate-to-severe asthma in the Mass General Brigham Biobank (MGBB: 92 omalizumab, 38 mepolizumab, 42 dupilumab). Replication was sought in 243 individuals in the All of Us (AoU) cohort (111 omalizumab, 58 mepolizumab, 74 dupilumab). Models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, baseline exacerbations, and principal components 1-10. AUROC was used to evaluate top predictors; type I error was assessed using random GRS sets (target FDR ≤20%). Results: Females comprised a large proportion; mean BMI was 28-35 kg/m Conclusions: Using ML-based GRS applied to an independent cohort of asthma patients, we found that IL-21-related GRSs were predictors of response to omalizumab and dupilumab.
