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: Mirikizumab, a selective interleukin-23p19 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in randomized controlled trials for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). However, long-term real-world data remain limited, particularly in treatment-experienced populations. Objectives: To evaluate the 52-week real-world effectiveness and safety of mirikizumab in a treatment-experienced UC cohort. Design: Two-center international retrospective observational cohort study of adults with active UC initiating mirikizumab. Methods: This study expands a previously published 12-week real-world cohort from the same centers, adding patients and extending follow-up to 52 weeks. The primary outcome was clinical remission (SCCAI ≤2) at week 52 using non-responder imputation. Secondary outcomes included clinical response, corticosteroid-free remission, and drug persistence at weeks 12, 26, and 52, as well as safety. Results: The cohort included 120 patients with prior anti-TNF, vedolizumab, and JAK inhibitor exposure in 75.8%, 75.0%, and 42.5%, respectively. Clinical response rates were 67.5%, 52.3%, and 41.3% at weeks 12, 26, and 52, with corresponding remission rates of 14.2%, 19.8%, and 28.3% (modified NRI: 35.6%). Corticosteroid-free remission at 52 weeks was 26.1%. Drug persistence at 52 weeks was 64.6% (95% CI 54.9-72.7%), without significant differences by prior biologic exposure class. Among 60 patients (50.0%) receiving extended induction, week-26 remission was lower than in standard induction recipients (10.7% vs. 29.1%; p=0.018). Adverse events occurred in 13 patients (10.8%), leading to discontinuation in 5 (4.2%). Conclusion: In this large treatment-experienced real-world UC cohort, mirikizumab achieved 52-week clinical remission in 28.3% and drug persistence of 64.6%, with no new safety signals identified, supporting its role across lines of therapy in UC.
