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

Background: The treatment outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been significantly improved by the advent of new biologics, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), particularly for refractory cases. However, the growing number of therapeutic options has also complicated clinical decision-making regarding drug selection and switching. The overall performance of IL-23 p19 inhibitors for the treatment of IBD was evaluated by the systematic review and meta-analysis in this study. Objective: The objective of this study was to combine the multiple indicators to accurately evaluate the efficacy and safety of IL-23 p19 inhibitors, aimed to offer an insight into the development of clinical physicians' medication. Methods: A comprehensive literature review on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library until June 2024 was conducted in this study, which mainly focused on the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the IL-23 p19 inhibitors within adult patients with UC or CD. Additionally, the clinical outcomes, endoscopic findings, histological assessments, and safety profiles were aggregated and subjected to analysis by a random-effects model. Results: Twenty-five RCTs [15 CD, 10 UC] were involved in this study, and it was revealed that IL-23 p19 inhibitors showed significant effects on clinical remission (CR) in IBD, regardless of induction or maintenance treatment (CD, induction: risk ratio [RR] 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71-2.23; I Conclusion: In IBD treatment, IL-23 p19 inhibitor therapy exhibited effective functions in the inducement and maintenance of clinical and endoscopic remissions, as well as in some histological cases.
