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

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease associated with systemic comorbidities, including gastrointestinal disorders. Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional gut-skin axis, with shared immunologic pathways involving the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), traditionally considered a functional disorder, has also been linked to low-grade inflammation and cytokine dysregulation. We report a case of a 67-year-old man with moderate plaque and inverse psoriasis and longstanding IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) who experienced complete resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms following treatment with risankizumab, an IL-23 inhibitor. Improvement in IBS symptoms began within weeks of therapy initiation and was sustained at follow-up, alongside complete skin clearance. No other changes in medications or lifestyle were identified. This case highlights a potential role of IL-23-mediated inflammation in IBS pathophysiology and suggests that targeted inhibition of the IL-23/IL-17 axis may benefit select patients with concurrent dermatologic and gastrointestinal disease.
