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

<p>Introduction: Benralizumab, an anti-IL-5 receptor monoclonal antibody, induces near-complete eosinophil depletion and has demonstrated significant clinical benefits in severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA). Real-world data remain essential for evaluating its effectiveness outside controlled trial settings. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical, laboratory, and functional outcomes of benralizumab over 32 weeks in a real-life cohort of SEA patients in Türkiye, following its recent national approval.

methodsThis retrospective study included biologic-naïve adults with SEA who initiated benralizumab between November 2023 and February 2025 and completed at least six consecutive doses. Peripheral blood eosinophil count (PBEC), clinically significant exacerbations (CSEs), Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, and spirometric parameters were evaluated at baseline and week 32. Patients were classified as responders (ACT ≥20 and no CSE) or nonresponders.

resultsTwenty-four patients (66.7% female; mean age 50.9 ± 13.1 years) were included. Median PBEC decreased from 800 (230-2,200) to 0 (0-100) cells/µL (p < 0.001). Median annual CSE frequency declined by 67% (p < 0.001). ACT scores improved from 9 (5-24) to 22 (9-25) (p < 0.001). Mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV

conclusionBenralizumab provided substantial improvements in eosinophilic inflammation, exacerbation frequency, symptom control, and lung function over 32 weeks in a real-life SEA cohort. These findings support benralizumab as an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option in routine clinical practice. </p>.
