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

backgroundPatients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) require proactive monitoring both during the active phase to evaluate therapeutic response and during the remission phase to evaluate relapse or colorectal cancer surveillance. However, monitoring may vary between patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), with distinct tools and intervals.

methodsThis narrative review aims to focus on modern approaches to IBD monitoring, considering international guidelines and expert consensus.

resultsThe most recent European diagnostic guidelines advocate a combination of clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, and radiological parameters to evaluate the disease course of patients with IBD. Unfortunately, the conventional symptom-based therapeutic approach does not improve long-term outcomes and there is no single ideal biomarker available. Endoscopy plays a key role in evaluating response to therapy as well as monitoring disease activity. Recently, bedside intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has gained increasing interest and diffusion as it appears to offer several advantages including the monitoring of therapeutic response.

conclusionIn light of growing clinical advances, we present a schematic evidence-based monitoring algorithm that can be easily applied in clinical practice which combines all major monitoring modalities, including noninvasive tools such as IUS and video-capsule endoscopy.
