A vibrant, medical-themed illustration showing two contrasting treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. On one side, depict a patient taking oral medication with a futuristic pill dispenser (representing JAK inhibitors), and on the other side, a patient receiving an injection with an advanced syringe (representing TNF blockers). The setting should be in a modern, high-tech clinic with digital screens displaying health data and progress. Medical professionals are attentively monitoring both patients. The background includes elements like medical equipment, charts, and a clean, clinical environment to emphasize the study's setting and purpose.
