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 inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, posing diagnostic and management challenges due to its potential involvement of any segment from the mouth to the anus. Device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) has emerged as a significant advancement in the management of CD, particularly for its ability to access the small intestine-a region difficult to evaluate with conventional endoscopic methods. This review discusses the pivotal role of DAE in the nuanced management of CD, emphasizing its enhanced diagnostic precision and therapeutic efficacy. DAE techniques, including double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE), single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE), and the now-withdrawn spiral enteroscopy, enable comprehensive mucosal assessment, targeted biopsies, and therapeutic interventions like stricture dilation, bleeding control, and foreign body removal. Despite its benefits, DAE carries risks such as perforation, bleeding, and pancreatitis, which require careful procedural planning and a skilled execution. The review highlights DAE's impact on reducing surgical interventions and improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive approaches, thereby enhancing the quality of life for patients with CD. Continuous improvement and research are essential in order to maximize DAE's utility and safety in clinical practice.
