Successful Treatment of Steroid-Dependent Severe Eosinophilic Pneumonia With Benralizumab: A Case Report.

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
Eosinophilic pneumonia (EP) often requires long-term steroid treatment, which has adverse effects. We report the case of an 83-year-old male with minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, refractory asthma and steroid-induced diabetes who developed a severe steroid-dependent EP relapse during steroid tapering. Considering his age, comorbidities and steroid dependency, treatment with benralizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 receptor antibody, was initiated. Benralizumab rapidly depleted eosinophils, leading to significant clinical and radiological improvements, allowing successful sustained tapering of prednisolone to 5 mg daily, and improving diabetes control without EP relapse. Benralizumab provides effective steroid-sparing therapy for steroid-dependent EP, particularly in complex patients.
