Efficacy and safety of risankizumab in Japanese patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis: Results from the SustaIMM phase 2/3 trial.
Trial report in The Journal of dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03000075 (A Phase II/III, Randomized, Double-blind Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Dose Regimens of BI 655066), which is not on this map. Cited by 49 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Risankizumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody, selectively inhibits interleukin-23, a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, by binding to its p19 subunit. In SustaIMM (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT03000075), a phase 2/3, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, Japanese patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (n = 171) were stratified by bodyweight and concomitant psoriatic arthritis and randomized 2:2:1:1 to 75 mg risankizumab, 150 mg risankizumab, placebo with cross-over to 75 mg risankizumab and placebo with cross-over to 150 mg risankizumab. Dosing was at weeks 0, 4, 16, 28 and 40, with placebo cross-over to risankizumab at week 16. The primary end-point was 90% or more improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-90) at week 16 for risankizumab versus placebo. Missing data were imputed as non-response. All primary and psoriasis-related secondary end-points were met for both risankizumab doses (P < 0.001). At week 16, PASI-90 responses were significantly higher in patients receiving 75 mg (76%) or 150 mg (75%) risankizumab versus placebo (2%). Corresponding response rates were 86%, 93% and 10% for static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of clear/almost clear; 90%, 95% and 9% for PASI-75; and 22%, 33% and 0% for PASI-100, with significantly higher responses for both risankizumab doses versus placebo. Through week 52, PASI and sPGA responses increased or were maintained and treatment-emergent adverse events were comparable across treatment groups. Both doses of risankizumab were superior to placebo in treating patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The safety profile was consistent with previous risankizumab trials, with no new or unexpected safety findings.
