Hepatobiliary disorders associated with TNF-α inhibitors: a pharmacovigilance analysis of FAERS and JADER.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) inhibitors are widely used for immune-mediated diseases. Their systemic adverse events (AEs) have become increasingly prominent. The hepatobiliary risks of different TNF-a inhibitors were compared in this paper to serve for their screening in clinics. Methods: We analyzed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data and Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report Database (JADER) data for five TNF-a inhibitors (adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab) listed as primary suspects. Disproportionality analyses identified hepatobiliary safety signals. Logistic regression assessed risk factors. Results: Across FAERS and JADER, adalimumab showed a positive hepatobiliary signal [ROR: 1.42 (1.39, 1.45) in FAERS and 1.39 (1.20, 1.62) in JADER].For adalimumab, risk was higher in men [OR: 1.225 (1.082, 1.386) in FAERS and 2.378 (1.517, 3.726) in JADER] and with higher dose [OR: 1.073 (1.049, 1.098) in FAERS], higher age [OR: 1.168 (1.032, 1.321) in JADER], greater weight [OR: 1.363 (1.192, 1.557) in JADER], and several co-reported categories which included skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders [OR: 1.247 (1.084, 1.434) in FAERS and 2.432 (1.100, 5.437) in JADER]. Conclusion: The robust signal between adalimumab and hepatobiliary adverse events was observed in our study. Male sex and skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders were regarded as consistent independent risk factors. The factors of drug dose, body weight, and additional comorbidity clusters could also require attention in clinics because these factors were obviously observed in certain single databases.
