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: An evolving strategy to enhance quality of life and remission rates in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the treat-to-target approach. This approach offers a structured algorithm for therapeutic interventions, yet its implementation faces challenges, such as administrative burden and limited resources. This study elucidates the pharmacist's role in the treat-to-target approach. Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted from August 7 to December 15, 2023. Patients ≥ 18 years of age, diagnosed with IBD, initiated on upadacitinib or risankizumab were included. "Treat-to-target" was defined as serial communication and monitoring of symptoms, clinical response, and laboratory values at predefined time points after starting therapy. A pharmacist-led follow-up protocol was conducted by an embedded IBD clinical pharmacist who assessed successful therapy initiation, medication adherence, steroid use, adverse effects, clinical disease activity, need for clinic visits, and lab monitoring at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after therapy initiation. Results: It was found that 227 patients initiated upadacitinib, and 210 initiated risankizumab. The overall success rate in reaching patients for through the pharmacist-directed follow-up protocol was 84%. The IBD Pharmacist made 3512 interventions, the most common being therapy continuation and lab monitoring recommendations. Therapy discontinuations were observed, particularly between 12 weeks and 6 months post-initiation. Conclusions: We demonstrate a high participation rate to a pharmacist-led follow-up and monitoring protocol for patients receiving upadacitinib and risankizumab therapy. These findings underscore the importance of pharmacist-led interventions in ensuring continuity of care and tracking patient progress with IBD therapies, which are key elements of a successful treat-to-target strategy.
