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

purposeThe most widely used score for assessing the activity of Crohn's disease (CD) is the Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) score, but it is time-consuming. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MaRIA score to the other two easily calculated scores.

methodsBetween January 2011 and May 2021, 67 patients with CD who underwent MRE and ileocolonoscopy within 2 weeks were enrolled. The MRE-based scores including the MaRIA score, simplified MaRIA (sMaRIA) score, and Nancy score for each colonic segment and terminal ileum were calculated and correlated with the ileocolonoscopic findings. The simplified endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) was considered the gold standard.

resultsA total of 343 intestinal segments were included in the analysis, of which 109 (31.8%) showed active inflammation on ileocolonoscopy. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the MaRIA, sMaRIA, and Nancy scores for detecting active disease were 0.752, 0.764, and 0.765, respectively. In the sub-analysis for different indications, the MaRIA and sMaRIA scores showed a higher AUC (0.721 and 0.741) than the Nancy score (0.652) for disease monitoring.

conclusionThe sMARIA and Nancy scores showed comparable diagnostic accuracy to the MaRIA score, and thus could be used as alternatives to the MaRIA score. Furthermore, considering the range of application, especially for disease monitoring, the sMaRIA score may be more suitable for use in clinical practice.
