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

Background: Severe asthma represents a significant public health challenge, and monoclonal antibodies such as benralizumab represent an effective therapeutic option for achieving disease control. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of benralizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma by assessing changes in fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), peripheral blood eosinophils, symptom control, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and exacerbation rates six months after treatment initiation. Materials and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in 11 patients with severe uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma. Clinical outcomes (ACT), quality of life (mini-AQLQ), FEV1, exacerbations, and biomarkers of blood eosinophils and FeNO were assessed at baseline and six months. Results: After six months of benralizumab therapy, > 90% of patients showed significant improvement in quality of life (mini-AQLQ, p < 0.05), and 72.7% achieved better asthma control (ACT, p < 0.05). Exacerbations decreased by 66.9% (p < 0.05). Blood eosinophils decreased by 97.5% (p < 0.05), FeNO by 57% (p < 0.05), and FEV1 increased by 27.7% (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Benralizumab demonstrated significant clinical and inflammatory benefits in this cohort, improving biomarkers, lung function, exacerbation rates, and patient-reported outcomes, supporting its effectiveness in real-world management of severe eosinophilic asthma.
