MRI of the small bowel in patients with Crohn's disease.
Review in Current opinion in gastroenterology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewTo highlight the advances in MRI of the small intestine in patients with Crohn's disease. MRI of the gut has become more feasible with improved spatial resolution and speed of the MR sequences allowing parallel evaluation for both disease activity and extra-enteric complications. RECENT
findingsRecent literature highlights excellent diagnostic accuracy of MR enterography (MRE) that is comparable to computed tomography enterography (CTE). Compared to CTE the image quality is not quite as good, and there is slightly more interobserver variability in interpretation. Despite these performance characteristics, the overall diagnostic yield of MRE is comparable to CTE. The lack of radiation exposure related to MRE is a significant strength, especially in Crohn's population that by virtue of their younger age, body habitus and potential need for repeated imaging, is at highest risk of potential cancer from radiation exposure due to diagnostic imaging. MRE should not be viewed as a 'safer' version of a CTE. The physics of MRI allows the application of unique sequences that add novel insights not possible with other imaging modalities. SUMMARY: MRE is a highly effective technique for assessing Crohn's disease. We are only starting to explore new MRI sequences and the future of this technology is extremely exciting.
