1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this Pictorial Essay is to evaluate the feasibility in the clinical practice of CEUS destruction/replenishment method and time intensity curve (TIC) analysis using the available software in patients with Crohn's disease. The ultrasound (US) procedure using contrast agent is briefly described, elaboration and analysis of the US sequences are explained in detail, and some advantages and disadvantages of the method are highlighted. The Authors suggest that the destruction/replenishment method is useful and time-saving in Crohn's disease if multiple measurements are required on intestinal portions adjacent to each other or in different locations.
