Mesenteric lymph nodes in MR enterography: are they reliable followers of bowel in active Crohn's disease?
Article in European radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo demonstrate magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) features of mesenteric lymph nodes (LN) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and investigate whether they follow enhancement or apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) parameters of bowel.
methodsThis study was approved by the institutional review board. A total of 788 MREs from patients with CD were retrospectively reviewed. Eighty-eight patients, aged 16-66 years, including 59 active cases, were enrolled based on inclusion criteria. In each MRE, two segments (normal and abnormal) and two LNs (regional and non-regional) were independently suggested, consensually chosen, and analyzed by two radiologists. Signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) ratios were calculated to assess signal intensities (SI) at 30, 60 and 180 s after contrast administration, as well as slope of enhancement (SOE). Enhancement parameters and ADC values were compared.
resultsRegional LNs showed significantly higher SI
conclusionMesenteric LNs follow quantitative enhancement and diffusion parameters of bowel in active CD. SOE KEY POINTS: • Mesenteric LNs may strongly follow enhancement pattern of bowel in active CD. • DWI parameters of LNs and bowel were strongly correlated in active CD. • SI
