Comparative efficacy and safety of etanercept and adalimumab in the treatment of polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Etanercept and Adalimumab in the treatment of polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA).
methodsFrom Jan 2021 to Oct 2023, 66 pJIA patients were prospectively randomized into Etanercept (n = 33) and Adalimumab (n = 33) groups at our hospital. Efficacy, via Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 10 (JADAS-10), and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell count (WBC) were assessed pre-treatment and at 1-, 3-, 6-month intervals post-treatment. Adverse reactions were monitored.
resultsTwo groups showed comparable efficacy (P > 0.05) at baseline in anti-CCP, TNF-α, CRP, ESR, WBC, and JADAS-10 score. Treatment for a period of 1 to 3 months led to statistically significant reductions in these markers over time (P < 0.05). Adalimumab group was found significantly lower levels of mentioned markers than Etanercept group at 1-3 months (P < 0.05), but after 6 months, statistical differences vanished (P > 0.05). Normal total bilirubin, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, serum creatinine levels were detected post-3 months in both groups; with similar adverse reaction rates (P > 0.05).
conclusionBoth Etanercept and Adalimumab are effective and safe for managing pJIA, demonstrating significant reductions in inflammatory markers and disease activity with no significant difference in efficacy or safety profiles. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
