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

purpose of reviewBiologic therapies have transformed treatment for children and adolescents with moderate-to-severe asthma. This review summarizes recent evidence regarding FDA-approved biologics for pediatric asthma—omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab, and tezepelumab—with focus on efficacy, safety, and practical considerations for clinical use. RECENT

findingsThese agents consistently demonstrate reductions in exacerbations, improved lung function, and/or enhanced quality of life. Long-term extension studies have reinforced favorable safety profiles, with low incidence of serious adverse events. Biomarkers such as blood eosinophils, FeNO, and IgE can guide biologic selection, along with presence of coexisting atopic conditions. Ultimately, optimal biologic choice depends on phenotype, biomarker profiles, and patient-specific needs. Pediatric evidence remains limited regarding criteria and strategies for biologic discontinuation. Biologics provide durable benefit and safety in pediatric asthma. Incorporating biomarkers, comorbidities, evolving discontinuation guidance, and shared decision-making with families is essential to optimize therapy and personalize care.
