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

Very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) is defined as disease presenting before the age of 6. These children require a tailored imaging approach because conventional imaging studies can be difficult to perform at such a young age. Unlike inflammatory bowel disease in older children and adults, colonic disease predominates in VEO-IBD, and small-bowel disease is rare. Distinguishing Crohn disease from ulcerative colitis is challenging both clinically and on histology. Radiology offers the greatest utility for detecting small-bowel disease because it helps to distinguish the two main disease entities and guide clinical management. Small-bowel ultrasound is recommended as the first-line investigation because it requires relatively little preparation, is readily available and is generally well tolerated in young children. We present these recommendations, based on the current evidence for radiologic management in this group, and propose an imaging algorithm for investigating VEO-IBD.
