Biologics for eosinophilic COPD: current applications and future prospects.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous pulmonary disorder characterized by persistent airflow limitation and symptoms of progressive dyspnea, cough, and sputum. While traditionally linked to type 1 immunity, a significant subset of patients presents with eosinophil-predominant type 2 inflammation. These individuals remain at risk of exacerbations despite receiving triple therapy, underscoring the need for novel biologics targeting type 2 pathways. Monoclonal antibodies against targets such as IL-5/IL-5Rα, IL-4, IL-13, IL-33/ST-2, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) have shown considerable promise. Therefore, the identification of accurate and accessible biomarkers for type 2 inflammation is crucial. This review summarizes the current applications and future prospects of emerging biologics in eosinophilic COPD, with a specific focus on the role of biomarkers.
