Efficacy of baricitinib in patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis up to 6.5 years of treatment: results of a long-term study.
Trial report in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the long-term efficacy of once-daily baricitinib 4 mg or 2 mg in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who had inadequate response (IR) to MTX, csDMARDs or bDMARDs.
methodsData from three completed phase III studies-RA-BEAM (MTX-IR), RA-BUILD (csDMARD-IR) and RA-BEACON (bDMARD-IR)-and one completed long-term extension study (RA-BEYOND) were analysed up to 6.5 years [340 weeks (RA-BEAM) and 336 weeks (RA-BUILD and RA-BEACON)]. Low disease activity (LDA) [Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) ≤11], clinical remission (SDAI ≤3.3) and physical function [Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤0.5] were the main outcomes assessed. Completer and non-responder imputation (NRI) analyses were conducted on each population.
resultsAt week 340 or 336, LDA was achieved in 37%/83% of MTX-IR, 35%/83% of csDMARD-IR and 23%/73% of bDMARD-IR patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg, assessed by NRI/completer analyses, respectively. Remission was achieved in 20%/40% of MTX-IR, 13%/32% of csDMARD-IR and 9%/30% of bDMARD-IR patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg, assessed by NRI/completer analyses, respectively. HAQ-DI ≤0.5 was reached in 31%/51% of MTX-IR, 25%/46% of csDMARD-IR and 24%/38% of bDMARD-IR patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg, assessed by NRI/completer analyses, respectively.
conclusionTreatment with baricitinib 4 mg or 2 mg demonstrated efficacy up to 6.5 years with maintained LDA/remission results across SDAI, CDAI and DAS28-hsCRP consistent with previously reported data, and was well tolerated.
