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

Background: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of several immune-mediated diseases (IMIDs) including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis and are in clinical trials for numerous other IMIDs. However, detailed studies investigating the effects of different JAK inhibitors on B cells are missing. Within this study, we therefore aimed to characterize the effect of JAK inhibition on the B cell compartment. Methods: To this end, we investigated the B cell compartment under JAK inhibition and compared the specific effects of the different JAK inhibitors tofacitinib (pan-JAK), baricitinib (JAK1/2), ruxolitinib (JAK1/2), upadacitinib (JAK1/2) as well as filgotinib (selective JAK1) on Results: While B cell phenotyping of RA patients showed an increase in marginal zone (MZ) B cells under JAK inhibition, comparison with healthy donors revealed that the relative frequency of MZ B cells was still lower compared to healthy controls. In an Conclusion: JAK inhibition has a major effect on B cell activation and differentiation, with differential outcomes between JAK inhibitors hinting towards distinct and unique effects on B cell homeostasis.
