Additional file 2:. Figure S2. Baseline IFNα protein levels do not predict remission in any of the treatment arms. Baseline IFNα protein levels in plasma from patients with early RA stratified according to DAS28-ESR 24 weeks after treatment initiation; in remission (DAS28-ESR < 2.6), low disease activity (2.6 < DAS28-ESR ≤ 3.2) or moderate/high disease activity (DAS28-ESR > 3.2) with A) all treatments, B) methotrexate + prednisone, C) methotrexate + TNFi, D) methotrexate + CTLA-4Ig and E) methotrexate + IL-6Ri. MTX (methotrexate), TNFi (certolizumab-pegol), CTLA-4Ig (abatacept), IL-6Ri (tocilizumab). Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test.
