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

The interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 pathway is one of many proposed mechanistic pathways of intestinal inflammation. Earlier studies introduced IL-12 as a major cytokine in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. However, the discovery of IL-23 drew attention toward this new cytokine. Overwhelming data indicated that antibodies against IL-12p40 rendered their anti-inflammatory effect primarily via inhibition of IL-23. This is because IL-12 and IL-23 have the subunit p40 in common. These cytokines have become an attractive target of treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Targeting IL-12 selectively was not found to be an efficacious treatment. Coblockade of IL-12 and IL-23 via targeting of p40, however, was found to be effective. More recently, selective IL-23 blockade has been extensively studied with promising preliminary results. To date, there are several ongoing randomized clinical trials investigating the safety and efficacy profiles of selective IL-23 inhibitors. Overall, the classes of anti-IL-12/IL-23 inhibitors and selective IL-23 inhibitors seem to be effective alternatives in patients who are nonresponders to anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents, especially in a subgroup of secondary nonresponders. In addition, the immunogenicity and adverse event rates associated with antibodies against IL-12 and/or IL-23 seem to be very low. Considering all of this, these agents will be an important part of the treatment algorithm for patients with inflammatory bowel disease going forward.
