Data are shown as adjusted mean [95% CI] unless otherwise indicated

N is the number of patients with available data

For adjusted mean, a linear mixed effect model analysis was performed using treatment group, sex, anti-CCP antibody (positive vs negative), baseline DAS28-ESR, measurement time point, and the interaction between the treatment group and measurement time point as fixed effects; patients as random effects; and baseline values as covariates
