JAK inhibition and axial spondyloarthritis: new steps on the path to understanding pathophysiology.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. 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
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that predominantly affects the sacroiliac joints and spine. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-17A are key cytokines in disease pathogenesis and are established axSpA treatment targets. Recently, axSpA treatment options have been complemented by Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), which inhibit various cytokines without directly impacting TNF or IL-17 signaling. The effect of JAKi on axSpA remains under investigation: besides a JAK2-mediated (and potentially tyrosine kinase 2 [TYK2]-mediated) effect on the IL-23/IL-17 axis, emerging evidence suggests γδ T cells, type 3 innate lymphoid cells, and mucosa-associated invariant T cells, which are dependent on IL-7 and/or IL-15 and thus on JAK1, are strongly inhibited by JAKi used to treat axSpA. This review summarizes potential effects of JAKi on axSpA and shows evidence from pre-clinical/clinical studies. Greater understanding of the mechanisms of action of available treatments may improve knowledge of axSpA and pave the road for future therapies.
