The new simplified MARIA score applies beyond clinical trials: A suitable clinical practice tool for Crohn's disease that parallels a simple endoscopic index and fecal calprotectin.

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
backgroundA simplified magnetic resonance enterography (MRe) index (sMARIA) for Crohn's disease (CD) was recently developed and validated.
objectiveOur aims were (a) to assess sMARIA's accuracy in a sample other than the validation cohort; (b) to evaluate its correlation with a simpler endoscopy index (SES-CD) and fecal calprotectin (FC); and (c) to assess the need of an expert radiologist to reliably use sMARIA.
methodsPatients with CD who underwent MRe, ileocolonoscopy and FC within 2-4 weeks had their MRe retrospectively reviewed by two blinded raters. Disease activity was evaluated through sMARIA, SES-CD and FC. sMARIA's accuracy, indices correlation, and interrater reliability were assessed.
resultsIn total, 84 patients were included, comprising 420 intestinal segments evaluations. sMARIA ≥1 accurately identified segments with active disease (90% sensitivity, 98% specificity; area under the curve 0.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91-0.97;
conclusionsMARIA accurately measured CD activity using SES-CD as standard of reference, and exhibited high correlation with a simple endoscopic index and a biomarker. The interrater reliability between a radiology resident and an expert was excellent.
