Risk of Autoimmune Hepatitis Among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated with Infliximab: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using a National Database.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsInfliximab and adalimumab are widely used anti-tumor necrosis factor agents for inflammatory bowel disease, both with reported cases of drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis. However, comparative data on the risk of autoimmune hepatitis with infliximab versus adalimumab are limited. We aimed to compare the risk of autoimmune hepatitis among patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with infliximab versus adalimumab.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective active-comparator, new-user cohort study using the TriNetX US collaborative network. Adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who initiated infliximab or adalimumab were included. Patients with prior autoimmune hepatitis, prior exposure to the alternate anti-tumor necrosis factor agent, selected autoimmune comorbidities, or other biologic exposure were excluded. The primary outcome was new autoimmune hepatitis occurring at least 3 months after treatment initiation. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline covariates. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted including autoimmune comorbidities in the matching model.
resultsAfter propensity score matching, 15,298 patients remained in each group. Autoimmune hepatitis occurred in 33 patients (0.216%) treated with infliximab and 13 patients (0.085%) treated with adalimumab. Infliximab was associated with a higher risk of autoimmune hepatitis (risk ratio 2.53; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.336-4.818; P = 0.0032). Time-to-event analysis showed similar findings (hazard ratio 2.602; 95% CI 1.369-4.945). In the sensitivity analysis, infliximab remained associated with a higher risk of autoimmune hepatitis.
conclusionsIn this large national cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, infliximab was associated with a higher observed risk of autoimmune hepatitis compared with adalimumab.
