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 paper is to describe the usefulness of multiparametric US in the diagnosis and subsequent follow-up of a case of right-side ischemic colitis and to present a review of the data reported in the literature. Ischemic colitis is frequently diagnosed in the field of gastroenterology. Diagnosis is usually based on the outcome of endoscopy and histological examination, and in case of right-side ischemic colitis also on the results of contrast-enhanced CT. In the described case, multiparametric US indicated the diagnosis including a prognostic judgment, and during follow-up US-monitored patency of the stents positioned under angiographic guidance. One of the available US techniques, CEUS, seems to have a special role in the detection of residual vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract affected by ischemia. However, before introducing this method into daily clinical practice, further studies are required to confirm its diagnostic accuracy.
