Safety of Janus kinase inhibitors compared to biological DMARDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and renal impairment: the ANSWER cohort study.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Data on the safety of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) in patients with renal impairment are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the safety of JAKis compared to biological (b) DMARDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and renal impairment. We used a multi-centre observational registry of patients with RA in Japan (the ANSWER cohort). We assessed the drug retention rates of b/targeted synthetic DMARDs with different modes of action (tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis), immunoglobulins fused with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA-4-Ig), interleukin-6 receptor inhibitors (IL-6Ris), and JAKis) in patients with RA stratified by pre-treatment estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels. The time to discontinuation of bDMARDs or JAKis was analysed using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model This study included 3775 patients, who were classified into three groups (the normal group (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m
