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

Severe and overlapping asthma endotypes-particularly steroid-insensitive disease-remain undertreated, highlighting the need for a T-cell-centered synthesis. This review frames asthma heterogeneity through the interplay of T-cell axes, with Th2 pathways shaping T2-high disease and Th17/Treg imbalance characterizing T2-low features and much of steroid resistance. Building on this framework, we map therapies to mechanism: IL-4Rα and IL-5/IL-5R blockade chiefly mitigate Th2-dominated circuits, whereas upstream alarmin inhibition (e.g., TSLP) modulates epithelial-immune cues that influence both T2-high biology and selected T2-low processes. We then outline what is needed to translate mechanisms into decisions-integrated biomarkers to refine endotypes and mechanism-guided switching or combinations, with emphasis on T2-low populations where unmet need is greatest. By linking T-cell biology to therapeutic leverage points, the review offers a concise path from mechanism to patient stratification and more rational treatment choices.
