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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimWe examined post hoc the effect of budesonide oral suspension (BOS/Eohilia) 2.0 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) on dysphagia symptom outcomes in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

methodsPatients aged 11-55 years who received BOS 2.0 mg b.i.d. or placebo during phase 2 or phase 3, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (MPI 101-06 and SHP621-301) were included. The Kaplan-Meier method captured time to first dysphagia symptom response (≥ 30% reduction in the Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire [DSQ] score from baseline). Efficacy outcomes using the DSQ at weeks 4, 8, and 12 of therapy were: the proportion of patients with complete dysphagia symptom resolution; change from baseline in the number of dysphagia-free days; and the proportion of patients with dysphagia symptoms, but without adaptive behaviors or pain. Each outcome was measured based on daily DSQ records in the 2 weeks before each study visit.

resultsOverall, 411 patients from MPI 101-06 (BOS, n = 51; placebo, n = 42) and SHP621-301 (BOS, n = 213; placebo, n = 105) were included. Median time to first dysphagia symptom response was significantly shorter for BOS- than placebo-treated patients (MPI 101-06, p = 0.0239; SHP621-301, p = 0.0156), with separation between groups at week 2, the earliest time point measured. At all time points, higher proportions of BOS- than placebo-treated patients had complete dysphagia symptom resolution or had dysphagia symptoms but no adaptive behaviors or pain. BOS- versus placebo-treated patients also had greater improvements from baseline in the number of dysphagia-free days.

conclusionsBOS is efficacious in managing dysphagia in EoE across several symptom metrics. CLINICALTRIALS: gov: NCT01642212; NCT02605837.
