*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio; OR: Odds ratio; NNTB: number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1We downgraded the quality of evidence by one level for risk of bias due to attrition bias analysed per protocol. We have rated all the trials at low risk for attrition bias since reasons for attrition/exclusions were reported in most of them, and reasons were similar. However, for HAQ‐DI and radiological changes we can only conduct a per protocol analysis, as these are continuous outcomes that count the average number of participants still in the trials. For DAS remission, ACR50, SAEs, all withdrawals and withdrawals due to AEs we conducted an ITT analysis, which is a more conservative approach, not requiring downgrading.

2We downgraded the quality of evidence by one level for inconsistency, due to heterogeneity (not all the confidence intervals overlap, and I2 is 79% ).
