Comparison of Conventional Ultrasound and Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance (MR) Enterography in Evaluation Patients with Crohn's Disease.

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
introductionThe small intestine is a challenging organ for clinical and radiological evaluation, and by introducing imaging radiological techniques, not significantly disturbing the comfort and safety of patients, it attempts to obtain adequate diagnosis and valuable information.
aimThe research was conducted with the aim of checking the comparability and potential of diagnostic modality of ultrasound and dynamic contrast enhanced MR Enterography (DCE-MR) in patients with Crohn's disease.
methods55 patients were examined prospectively, and ultrasound examination of the abdomen was performed for all patients before the MR enterography. They were subsequently endoscopically examined or treated surgically, which was taken as a reference. Four parameters characterizing the disease itself were analyzed: bowel wall thickening, presence of abscess, fistula and lymphadenopathy.
resultsComparing the accuracy of the results of ultrasound findings and findings of MR enterography, it was found that there is a significant difference in the results obtained. The study found that the sensitivity for MR enterography for bowel wall thickening was 97.8%, and the specificity was 70%, while the sensitivity for ultrasound for the bowel wall thickening was 51% and the specificity was 100%. In the diagnosis of abscess, there was no significant difference between the results obtained by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, while in fistula and lymphadenopathy there was a significant difference.
conclusionConventional ultrasound is a good orientation method in the initial evaluation of patients with Crohn's disease, while contrast enhanced MR enterography provides an excellent assessment for disease activity as well as the complications that accompany it.
