Factors Underlying Failure of Methotrexate Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Implications in Personalized Care.
Article in Archives of internal medicine research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be managed with a range of therapeutic treatments. Methotrexate (MTX) is a first-line treatment for RA; however, its metabolism in RA patients can be complicated by multiple factors. Therefore, understanding these specific factors is crucial for optimizing the efficacy of MTX to provide improved therapeutic outcomes for patients. This article explores existing literature to examine how MTX metabolism in RA patients is impacted by other commonly used medications for RA. Additionally, the review explores the role of genetics by investigating the impact that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have on MTX metabolism. Key findings from this review highlight how MTX metabolism can be enhanced or impaired based on specific combination therapies and how alternative treatments are considered with MTX treatment failure. MTX metabolism can also vary across different racial, ethnic, and population-based groups due to the presence of distinct SNPs in their genetic profiles. These results underscore the importance of personalized treatment approaches when treating RA patients with MTX, as its metabolism is influenced by factors such as drug interactions and SNPs. Future research is needed to expand our understanding of these factors to further improve therapeutic outcomes in RA patients.
