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

Small-airway disease (SAD) is a key feature of severe asthma and is associated with poor symptom control and frequent exacerbations. Dupilumab has demonstrated efficacy in improving lung function and reducing exacerbations, but real-world evidence on its effects in SAD remains limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of 12 months of dupilumab treatment on SAD, clinical outcomes, and type 2 inflammation. We included 21 patients. Small-airway function was assessed by impulse oscillometry (R5-R20) and spirometry FEF25-75% predicted at baseline (T0) and after 3 (T3), 6 (T6), and 12 (T12) months of treatment. Additional assessments included FEV
