From: Does the presence of magnetic resonance imaging-detected osteitis at diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis lower the risk for achieving disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-free sustained remission: results of a longitudinal study

Fig. 3

A combination of MRI features (covering type, location, and severity of inflammation) did not cluster RA patients who did or did not achieve DMARD-free sustained remission over time. This figure depicts the results of a PLS regression analysis. Two factors were identified that together explained 15.0% of the explained variance between patients who did and did not achieve DMARD-free sustained remission over time. Individual patient scores on factor 1 (y axis) and factor 2 (x axis) are plotted against each other. The figure reveals that there is overlap, which means that there are no clear patterns of MRI-detected inflammation that discriminated between patients who did and did not achieve DMARD-free sustained remission
