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 (CD) is a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, and it frequently affects young patients. It can involve any intestinal segment, even though it frequently affects the distal ileum. Up to 80% of patients with CD present with inflammatory behavior, and 5% to 28% develop stricturing disease. Based on the predominant mechanism causing them, strictures can be categorized as inflammatory, fibrotic, or mixed. Determining the relative amounts of inflammation and fibrosis in a stricture can influence treatment decisions. Imaging is an extremely useful tool in patients with small bowel stricturing CD to confirm the diagnosis and to evaluate disease characteristics, usually using CT or MRI. The aim of this paper is to describe how imaging can evaluate a patient with small bowel CD stricture.
