Poor Concordance Between Clinical Activity and Endoscopic Severity in Pediatric Crohn's Disease: Before and After Induction Therapy.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectives and studyEndoscopic assessments of disease activity are important to diagnose and evaluate treatment responses in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, the invasiveness of endoscopy limits the application of this technique in routine examination. Thus, interest has been increasing in identifying noninvasive surrogate markers to predict endoscopic CD activity.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed pediatric patients with new-onset CD from January 2013 to December 2018 at Zhejiang University Affiliated Children's Hospital. The disease severity was scored according to the Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS). Routine blood tests were determined individually. Clinical activity was assessed based on the Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI).
resultsA total of 91 patients with CD had undergone one or more ileocolonoscopies (n = 146), the mean CDEIS for all the pediatric patients with CD was 7.0 (95% CI 5.7-8.2), and the mean PCDAI was 20.9 (95% CI 18.3-23.5). Pearson's linear analysis of the CDEIS and PCDAI in pediatric patients with CD showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.508, P < 0.001). Weak correlations were found between the PCDAI and CDEIS at the first diagnosis (r = 0.408, P < 0.001) and after completing induction therapy (r = 0.286, P < 0.05). Routine blood tests also did not correlate well with the CDEIS.
conclusionsThis study identified weak correlations between the PCDAI and CDEIS in assessing pediatric patients with CD severity both at first diagnosis and after induction therapy. A comprehensive assessment of PCDAI, CDEIS and multiple laboratory factors should be performed at diagnosis and during the follow-up of patients with CD.
