Considerations for Pharmacologic Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis in the COVID-19 Era: a Narrative Review.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewTo review the impact of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) on COVID-19 severity and vaccine immunogenicity and to discuss COVID-19 outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RECENT
findingsRituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 and impaired vaccine immunogenicity via its B cell-depleting mechanism. JAK inhibitors and glucocorticoids have been modestly associated with severe COVID-19 and impaired vaccine immunogenicity. TNF inhibitors may have a protective effect against severe COVID-19 and do not appear to affect vaccine immunogenicity. Clinical trials have shown improved seroconversion and antibody titers when methotrexate is held around vaccine doses, but this may yield increased risk of RA flare. Patients with RA are also impacted by DMARD disruption, RA flares, and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 after COVID-19 infection. Given the risks of COVID-19, rituximab should be used with caution in RA. Holding methotrexate doses around COVID-19 vaccination improves immunogenicity but may increase RA flare risk.
