Symptomatic elevation creatine kinase following treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with baricitinib.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The aim of RA treatment is to achieve reduction of disease activity and prevent joint damage and disability. Baricitinib is a synthetic small molecule which targets the JAK/STAT pathway which is implicated in the inflammatory response in RA. Baricitinib selectively targets JAK1 and JAK2 and has been shown to have efficacy in treating patients with RA. Common adverse effects reported during baricitinib therapy includes infection, asymptomatic changes in laboratory parameters including changes in neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet counts, alanine aminotransferase, cholesterol, creatinine and creatine kinase (CK). We report the first two documented cases in Australia of baricitinib-induced symptomatic elevation of CK.
