Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in a Patient With Complex Crohn's Disease and a High-Output Ileostomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The management of Crohn's disease (CD) in patients with a history of multiple abdominal surgeries and a high-output stoma represents a significant therapeutic challenge. Risankizumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor, has proven efficacy for moderate-to-severe CD, but its role in complex post-surgical scenarios is not well-documented. We present the case of a 46-year-old male patient with longstanding, penetrating, and stricturing ileocolonic CD. Following multiple surgeries, including the creation of a permanent end ileostomy for an anastomotic leak, he developed a high-output stoma. Risankizumab was initiated in December 2024 as postoperative prophylaxis. By June 2025, ileoscopy confirmed endoscopic remission (Rutgeerts score i0) with no postoperative recurrence. This case demonstrates that risankizumab is highly effective for achieving and maintaining endoscopic remission in complex, post-surgical CD. However, it also highlights that achieving disease remission does not necessarily resolve severe surgical complications. The management of such patients necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to address both the underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its complications.
