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

backgroundTezepelumab, an anti–TSLP monoclonal antibody, has shown broad efficacy across severe asthma phenotypes. However, real-world evidence evaluating multidomain remission—integrating clinical, functional, and inflammatory domains—remains limited. The primary objective was to assess 12-month effectiveness and multidomain remission (clinical, biological, and complete remission) stratified by inflammatory phenotype, in a prospective multicentre real-world cohort of patients with severe asthma treated with tezepelumab.

methodsThis prospective observational study included adults with severe asthma initiating tezepelumab across 14 specialised severe asthma units in Spain. Clinical outcomes (exacerbations, ACT, OCS use), lung function, and type 2 (T2) biomarkers (blood eosinophils, FeNO) were evaluated at baseline and 12 months. Clinical remission was defined using strict (no exacerbations, no maintenance OCS, ACT ≥ 20, FEV₁ ≥80%) and pragmatic criteria (no exacerbations, no OCS, ACT ≥ 20, and no FEV₁ decline > 5%). Biological remission required FeNO < 25 ppb and eosinophils < 300/µL.

resultsNinety-three patients were included. The annualised exacerbation rate decreased by 68% (3.59 to 1.14; p < 0.001). ACT improved from 13.7 to 19.9 (p < 0.001) and 77.8% of patients achieved an ACT increase ≥ 3 points. Maintenance OCS use fell from 40% to 21% (p < 0.01). FEV₁ (% predicted) increased from 70.7% to 75.6% (p < 0.001). T2 biomarkers significantly decreased (eosinophils p = 0.004; FeNO p = 0.034). Of the 93 patients included, 86 had complete data for strict clinical remission analysis. Among evaluable patients, 22.1% (19/86) achieved strict clinical remission and 38.4% (33/86) pragmatic remission. Biological remission occurred in 73.1% (38/52), and complete remission in 22.0% (11/50).

conclusionIn this multicentre real-world cohort, tezepelumab produced sustained multidomain improvements with consistent benefit across phenotypes, including marked exacerbation reductions in allergic biologic-naïve patients. Incorporating biological remission into a multidomain framework provides new insight into the depth and heterogeneity of response achievable with upstream TSLP blockade.
