The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03782532 (A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dupilumab in Patients With Persistent Asthma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAsthma prevalence is increasing in the Asia-Pacific region. China and India account for > 35% of the world's population and are often underrepresented in clinical studies. This phase 3 study (NCT03782532) evaluated efficacy and safety of dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody blocking interleukin-4/13 signalling, in patients with persistent asthma from China and India.

methodsPatients (≥ 12 years) were randomised 1:1 to dupilumab 200 mg or matched placebo every 2 weeks for 24 weeks (primary analysis population: blood eosinophils ≥ 150 cells/μL or fractional exhaled nitric oxide ≥ 25 parts per billion without maintenance oral corticosteroid [OCS]; OCS maintenance population: 300 mg OCS). PRIMARY ENDPOINT: change from baseline to week 12 in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV

resultsIn the primary analysis population (n = 414), change in FEV

conclusionDupilumab significantly improved lung function and asthma control, numerically reduced asthma exacerbations, and was well tolerated in patients from China and India with persistent asthma and evidence of either type 2 inflammation or OCS maintenance.
