Licensed treatments have significantly higher odds (based on the 95% CrI) compared to PLA;

for the ACR 70 network meta-analysis, a continuity correction (0.5) was applied to the data.

Abbreviations: ADA, adalimumab; CrI, credible interval (Bayesian probability interval); ETN, etanercept; exp, experienced; OR, odds ratio; PLA, placebo; SUL, sulfasalazine; TOC, tocilizumab.
