Evaluation of colitis: usefulness of CT enterography technique.
Article in Emergency radiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Computed tomographic enterography (CTE) is a useful technique for evaluating the small bowel and has the capability to include the colon for evaluation of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aims of this study are (1) to determine if CTE is a sensitive method for detecting Crohn colitis and ulcerative colitis and (2) to assess the accuracy of determining the extent and activity of colonic disease in patients with proven IBD. Seventy patients (35 patients with proven colitis at colonoscopy and 35 negative patients with a proven normal colon) having both a CTE examination and recent colonoscopy formed the retrospective study group. A radiologist evaluated the examinations in a blinded fashion for disease presence, activity, and extent. Sensitivity was 93% for the detection of moderate and severe disease in well-distended colons. Specificity was 91%. In good to excellent distended colons, mild, moderate, and severe disease was detected with a sensitivity of 67%, 90%, and 100%, respectively. Severe disease activity was commonly underestimated, and mild disease when detected was usually overestimated. The full extent of colonic disease at CTE was usually underestimated. CTE is a valid technique for detecting colitis in the colon in patients with IBD. Better methods for assessing disease activity and extent are needed.
