A Descriptive, Post Hoc Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Diverse Racial and Ethnic Patient Populations With Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03047395 (A Multicenter, Open Label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Risankizumab for Maintenance in Moderate to Severe Plaque Type Psoriasis), which is not on this map.

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
introductionHistorically, patients with skin of color are underdiagnosed with psoriasis and underrepresented in clinical trials. In this study, we assess the efficacy and safety of risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis by race and ethnicity in the open label extension LIMMitless (NCT03047395).
methodsPatients received continuous treatment with 150 mg risankizumab through their initial trial and the open label extension. Patients self-identified their race and ethnicity. Efficacy was assessed using Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Safety is reported by events/100 patient-years.
resultsA total of 897 patients (race: 662 White, 196 Asian, 25 Black or African American, 14 Other; ethnicity: 98 Hispanic or Latino, 799 non-Hispanic or Latino) were included in this analysis. Compared to baseline, patients had a mean percent reduction in PASI between 94.6% (Asian) and 99.3% (Black or African American) and reported mean percent improvements in DLQI ranging from 87.1% (Asian and Black or African American) to 93.7% (Hispanic or Latino) at week 100.
conclusionWhile the data presented here comprise a small retrospective descriptive analysis and cannot detect statistical differences, efficacy of risankizumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis appears similar across the racial and ethnic groups studied and no new safety signals were detected.
