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

Risankizumab is a high-affinity neutralizing anti-interleukin (IL)-23 monoclonal antibody marketed in over 40 countries across the globe to treat several inflammatory diseases, such as plaque psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and Crohn's disease (CD). This paper reviews the regulatory approval, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics (PKs)/pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy and safety data for risankizumab, focusing on the three main approved indications. Risankizumab binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 and inhibits IL-23 from interacting with the IL-23 receptor and subsequent signaling. Biomarker data obtained following treatment with risankizumab in multiple indications provided supportive evidence for downstream blockade of IL-23 signaling associated with disease pathology. The PKs of risankizumab is linear and time-independent, consistent with typical IgG1 monoclonal antibodies, across all evaluated indications. Risankizumab exhibited positive exposure-response relationships for efficacy with no apparent exposure-dependent worsening in safety. Immunogenicity to risankizumab had no major clinical consequences for either efficacy or safety. Efficacy and safety of risankizumab have been established in PsO, PsA, and CD in the pivotal clinical trials where superior benefit/risk profiles were demonstrated compared to placebo and/or active comparators. Moreover, safety evaluations in open-label extension studies following long-term treatment with risankizumab showed stable and favorable safety profiles consistent with shorter-term studies. These data formed the foundation for risankizumab's marketing approvals to treat multiple inflammatory diseases across the globe.
