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

Introduction: Dupilumab, an IL-4R Methods: We evaluated the clinical and systemic immunologic effects of dupilumab, focusing on type 2 biomarkers, total and aeroallergen-specific IgE, and FcεRI (High affinity IgE receptor) - expressing cells. Thirty-three adults with severe eosinophilic asthma were enrolled and followed up for 12 months in two Slovenian centres. Clinical assessments, spirometry, FeNO (Fractional exhaled nitric oxide), ACT (Asthma Control Test) scores, complete blood counts, total IgE, aeroallergen-specific IgE, and FcεRI expression on basophils were measured at baseline and at 1.5, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: Twenty-seven patients completed follow-up and were included in the final analysis. Dupilumab treatment resulted in significant improvement in ACT ( Conclusions: Dupilumab demonstrated sustained clinical improvement in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, accompanied by broad immunologic modulation. Concurrent reductions in FeNO, total IgE, and aeroallergen-specific IgE indicate upstream inhibition of IL-4/IL-13-mediated inflammation, suggesting modulation of the underlying type 2 inflammatory network.
