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

Guselkumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23), thereby preventing IL-23 binding to the IL-23 receptor. IL-23 is a key driver of immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), making selective IL-23 inhibition an established therapeutic strategy in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Guselkumab is the most recently approved IL-23p19 inhibitor for the treatment of both major forms of IBD. It is the first IL-23p19 inhibitor to offer a fully subcutaneous induction regimen, and preliminary phase III data has suggested potential benefits for patients with perianal Crohn's disease. In registrational trials, there were significant improvements across multiple clinical and endoscopic endpoints in comparison to ustekinumab, although these trials were not powered for formal superiority testing. This narrative review summarises the biological rationale for IL-23 blockade, reviews the available clinical evidence, discusses practical considerations for its use, and considers its place in the landscape of IBD treatments.
