Fig. 3From: Plasma interferon-alpha is associated with double-positivity for autoantibodies but is not a predictor of remission in early rheumatoid arthritis—a spin-off study of the NORD-STAR randomized clinical trialBaseline IFNα protein levels do not predict remission after treatment. Baseline IFNα protein levels in plasma from patients with early RA, stratified according to CDAI 24 weeks after treatment initiation; in remission (CDAI 0–2.8), low disease activity (CDAI 2.9–10.0), and moderate/high disease activity (CDAI 10.1–76.0) with A all treatments, B methotrexate + prednisone, C methotrexate + TNFi, D methotrexate + CTLA-4Ig, and E methotrexate + IL-6Ri. MTX (methotrexate), TNFi (certolizumab-pegol), CTLA-4Ig (abatacept), IL-6Ri (tocilizumab). Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison testBack to article page
