Methotrexate Reduces the Clearance of Adalimumab by Increasing the Concentration of Neonatal Fc Receptor in Tissues.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeAlthough pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction effects of methotrexate (MTX) on adalimumab have been found, the mechanism of these effects is still unclear. In this work, effects of MTX on the concentration of neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and the role of FcRn in the interaction between MTX and adalimumab were investigated.
methodsThe experiment was performed in rats whose FcRn had normal physiological function and also in rats whose FcRn was blocked with FcRn antibody. Rats were randomly assigned to receive placebo or 0.2 mg/kg MTX orally every week while taking one abdominal subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg/kg adalimumab. The FcRn concentration in tissues and the PK parameters of adalimumab were compared between MTX-treated and placebo groups.
resultsIn rats with normally functioning FcRn, the concentrations of FcRn were significantly increased in the liver (F=105.5, p=0.000) and kidney (F=996.312, p=0.000) after treatment with MTX, and the clearance (CL/F) of adalimumab was decreased accordingly (F=4.423, p=0.048). However, in rats injected with FcRn antibody, the concentrations of FcRn in MTX-treated rats were close to that of the placebo rats in the tissues of the liver (F=1.279, p=0.268) and kidney (F=0.661, p=0.424). The CL/F of adalimumab in rats was also not affected by MTX (F=0.002, p=0.961).
conclusionsFcRn may play a vital role in the interaction between adalimumab and MTX.
