Pure red cell aplasia in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis after JAK inhibitor exposure-diagnostic challenges.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
We describe a patient with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who developed severe refractory transfusion-dependent anaemia lasting several months following treatment with a JAK1 inhibitor (Filgotinib). The patient proceeded with extensive investigations, including bone marrow assessment, and was initially diagnosed with Filgotinib-associated anaemia. However, despite stopping this agent, the anaemia persisted with fluctuating reticulocyte count resulting in multiple hospital admissions. Although the anaemia was initially attributed to Filgotinib, its persistence alongside delayed reticulocytopenia, ultimately led to a diagnosis of acquired Pure Red Cell Aplasia more than 12 months later. Complete remission was achieved with prednisolone + ciclosporin A. This case underscores the need to consider PRCA in RA patients on JAK inhibitors even with initially normal reticulocyte counts, as these agents may transiently mask underlying aplasia.
