Exacerbation Reduction in Patients with Asthma Following Escalation to FF/UMEC/VI from ICS/LABA: Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Pulmonary therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionDespite fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) being available for asthma treatment in the US (United states) since 2020, real-world evidence on its clinical and economic benefits in patients with asthma is lacking. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of FF/UMEC/VI (100/62.5/25 µg and 200/62.5/25 µg) in US patients with asthma previously on inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β
methodsRetrospective, longitudinal, pre-post study utilizing data from the Komodo Health database between 09/09/2019 and 12/31/2023. Eligible adults with asthma had been treated with ICS/LABA prior to FF/UMEC/VI initiation (index date: first FF/UMEC/VI prescription). Rates of moderate-severe exacerbations, asthma-related healthcare resource utilization, oral corticosteroid (OCS) and short-acting β
resultsIn total, 17,959 patients were included. Following FF/UMEC/VI initiation, odds of having ≥ 1 exacerbation were reduced by 52% (OR [95% confidence interval (CI)] 0.48 [0.46, 0.50]; P < 0.001), rate of moderate-severe exacerbations reduced by 38% (RR [95% CI] 0.62 [0.61, 0.64]; P < 0.001) and asthma-related hospitalizations by 25% (RR [95% CI] 0.75 [0.68, 0.83]; P < 0.001). Odds of ≥ 1 OCS dispensing were reduced by 36% (OR [95% CI] 0.64 [0.62, 0.67]; P < 0.001) and ≥ 1 SABA canister use by 54% (OR [95% CI]: 0.46 [0.44, 0.48]; P < 0.001) post initiation; mean annualized asthma-related medical costs were reduced by $1115 ([95% CI] [$ -1771, $ -459]; P < 0.001). Both FF/UMEC/VI dosage groups had similar results.
conclusionsIn patients who remain uncontrolled despite ICS/LABA treatment, escalating to FF/UMEC/VI is associated with reductions in asthma exacerbations, asthma-related hospitalizations, OCS use, SABA use, and asthma-related medical costs.
