Biological and Targeted Therapy in Non-Infectious Uveitis: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) comprises a group of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the uvea that frequently affect people of working age. If inflammation is not controlled promptly, it may lead to permanent structural damage and visual loss. Prolonged corticosteroid use increases the risk of adverse effects. Contemporary treatment aims not only to control inflammation, but also to minimise dependence on corticosteroids. This narrative review examines the efficacy, safety, and place of biological and targeted therapies in the treatment of NIU. Adalimumab is the best-studied biological agent for intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis, as well as for uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Infliximab has an important role in severe Behçet-associated uveitis and occlusive retinal vasculitis. Among the biological therapies with mechanisms of action other than TNF-α inhibition, tocilizumab is the best studied, particularly in refractory uveitic macular oedema. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAK inhibitors) are a rapidly developing class of targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Clinical studies in NIU have shown variable efficacy and indicate their potential as a future therapeutic option. Treatment selection should be individualised and should take into account the anatomical form and severity of uveitis, the presence of systemic disease, macular oedema or occlusive retinal vasculitis, age and comorbidities, and the response to previous therapy. Therapeutic drug monitoring, biomarkers, and quantitative imaging parameters represent promising approaches to treatment personalisation; however, their clinical utility requires validation in prospective studies, and they are not currently part of routine clinical practice in non-infectious uveitis.
