Figure 34 displays a forest plot for the network meta-analysis reporting all discontinuations in studies comparing Non-TNF biologics with Non-TNF biologics. Two comparisons were used in this analysis. Study-level data used in this Figure are presented in Appendix C. This figure is described further in the KQ3 Results section “Non-TNF vs. Non-TNF” as follows: “In NWMA, there were no differences detected in overall discontinuations between TCZ and ABA or TCZ and ABA with MTX”.

95% CI = 95% confidence interval; MTX = methotrexate; RR = relative risk; TNF = tumor necrosis factor; vs. = versus.
