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

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by a transmural involvement of intestinal walls. Its diagnosis comes from a combination of clinical data, imaging findings and, above all, endoscopy with biopsy results, which are mandatory for achieving a definitive diagnosis. Even so, endoscopy information may be unavailable, for instance due to technical impairments or patient intolerance. On the radiological side, Magnetic Resonance Enterography is currently considered the imaging technique of choice for Crohn's disease assessment, either at first diagnosis or follow-up. Nevertheless, the lack of radiation exposure as well as invasiveness has made this imaging approach suitable also for the evaluation of a number of small and large bowel diseases over recent years. However, it is important to remember that Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings are non-specific and that a wide overlap exists among Crohn's disease and other intestinal conditions. The aim of this work was to provide a series of intestinal affections evaluated through Magnetic Resonance Enterography that resemble Crohn's disease and that can be helpful in avoiding misinterpretation, especially when endoscopy data are missing.
