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

Interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitors have rapidly become an essential component of the therapeutic armamentarium for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Risankizumab, mirikizumab, and guselkumab share broadly similar pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, including linear clearance, long half-lives, and low immunogenicity. While therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is well established in the use of anti-TNF agents, its role in IL-23 inhibitors remains undefined. Emerging evidence, mostly for risankizumab, demonstrates dose-response relationships, suggests potential maintenance thresholds, and outlines possible dose optimization strategies. However, this preliminary data is predominantly retrospective, often single-center, and involves a small number of patients. Until more robust evidence supporting the efficacy of TDM and dose optimization emerges, routine use of this clinical practice in IBD remains investigational.
