A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of biologics for rheumatoid arthritis: a Cochrane overview

Abstract

Given the limitations of indirect comparisons, anakinra was less effective than adalimumab and etanercept, and etanercept was safer than adalimumab, anakinra and infliximab. This summary of the evidence will help physicians and patients to make evidence-based choices about biologics for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
