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
backgroundNon-invasive methods play an important role in clinical assessment of Crohn's disease. Recent studies have highlighted the effectiveness and reliability of intestinal ultrasonography. We aimed to examine the relationship between intestinal ultrasonography and the clinical, endoscopic, and computed tomography enterography findings, and to assess the activity of Crohn's disease.
methodsThis was a 1-year prospective study involving patients diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Clinical and endoscopic activity indi- ces, and intestinal ultrasonography and computed tomography enterography findings were evaluated. Intestinal wall thickness, mes- enteric inflammation, lymphadenopathy, and complications were evaluated by intestinal ultrasonograpy and computed tomography enterography, while the superior mesenteric artery flow velocity, resistive index, and Limberg score were assessed by Doppler intestinal ultrasonography.
resultsSeventy-nine patients with Crohn's disease were included. A significant correlation was found between intestinal wall thick- ness, mesenteric inflammation, and complications in intestinal ultrasonography and computed tomography enterography (P = .0001). According to the receiver operating curve analysis, the intestinal wall thickness, and mesenteric inflammation were correlated with the Crohn's Disease Activity Index, Harvey-Bradshaw Index, and SES-CD scores (P < .05), and they were very effective in distinguishing active from inactive disease. According to the Crohn's Disease Activity Index and SES-CD scores, Doppler flow velocity of the superior mesenteric artery was significantly higher in the active group than in the inactive group (P < .05). The Limberg score was very consistent with the Crohn's Disease Activity Index, Harvey-Bradshaw Index , and the results of the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (P < .0001).
conclusionOur study showed that intestinal ultrasonography is an effective and reliable method for assessment of Crohn's disease activity compared to clinical, endoscopic, and CTE findings.
