Efficacy and safety of Risankizumab for moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: first Asian real-world data (STAR trial).

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.
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: Crohn's disease (CD) remains a challenging condition, especially in patients with moderate-to-severe disease. Risankizumab (RZB), an anti-IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody, has shown efficacy in clinical trials. However, real-world data (RWD) in Asian populations are limited. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and safety of Risankizumab in Asian patients with CD. Design: Multicenter cohort study. Methods: This study enrolled adult patients with moderate-to-severe CD who received Risankizumab between September 2024 and May 2025 in Taiwan. Efficacy was assessed at weeks 4, 8, and 12 using CD Activity Index (CDAI), patient-reported outcomes-2 (PRO2), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-disk scores. Safety outcomes and treatment response by prior biologic exposure, including Ustekinumab (UST), were evaluated. Results: Forty-nine patients (mean age 41.5 years, 69.4% male) were included. Clinical response rates were 53.1%, 75.5%, and 91.8% at weeks 4, 8, and 12, respectively; clinical remission was achieved in 12.2%, 22.4%, and 42.9%. PRO2 remission reached 53.5% by week 12. Both CDAI and IBD-Disk scores improved at weeks 4, 8, and 12 with statistical significance ( Conclusion: Risankizumab may demonstrate significant short-term efficacy and favorable safety in real-world treatment of moderate-to-severe CD in an Asian cohort. Long-term data are needed to confirm sustained outcomes and guide their optimal use across diverse CD populations.
