Low Incidence of Macular Edema and Other Ocular Events in the Etrasimod Development Program.
Article in Journal of Crohn's & colitis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 10 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsSphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulators have been associated with an increased risk of macular edema. Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate1,4,5 receptor modulator.
methodsWe report the proportions and incidence rates (per 100 patient-years of exposure) of Macular edema and other ocular adverse events in the etrasimod clinical program, including patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, alopecia areata, and atopic dermatitis. Ulcerative colitis data were analyzed in 2 cohorts: Placebo-controlled ulcerative colitis and All ulcerative colitis (comprising the Placebo-controlled ulcerative colitis cohort plus open-label extension studies).
resultsIn the Placebo-controlled ulcerative colitis cohort, Macular edema was reported in 2 patients receiving etrasimod (0.3%; incidence rate: 0.70) and 1 receiving placebo (0.3%; incidence rate: 0.84). In the All ulcerative colitis cohort, 1 patient (0.1%; incidence rate: 0.13) receiving etrasimod reported 2 events of Cystoid macular edema. All events were nonserious, and 1 led to treatment discontinuation. No events of Macular edema were reported in other conditions. Nine and 4 patients receiving etrasimod reported Vision blurred and Visual impairment adverse events, respectively. All events were nonserious and most did not require any intervention.
conclusionsMacular edema and other ocular events were uncommon in patients treated with etrasimod across multiple conditions. Incidence of Macular edema was comparable with placebo.
