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

Diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can often be challenging, and differentiating between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can be particularly difficult. Diagnostic procedures for IBD include laboratory tests, endoscopy, pathological tests, and imaging tests. Serological and stool tests can be easily performed in an outpatient setting and provide critical diagnostic clues. Although endoscopy is an invasive procedure, it offers essential diagnostic information and allows for tissue biopsy and therapeutic procedures. Video capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy are endoscopic procedures used to evaluate the small bowel. In addition to endoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound (US) are valuable tools for small bowel assessment. Among these, US is noninvasive and easily utilized, making its use highly practical in daily clinical practice. Endoscopic biopsy aids in the diagnosis of IBD and is crucial for assessing the histological activity of the disease, facilitating a thorough evaluation of disease remission, and aiding in the development of treatment strategies. Recent advances in artificial intelligence hold promise for enhancing various aspects of IBD management, including diagnosis, monitoring, and precision medicine. This review compiles current procedures and promising future tools for the diagnosis of IBD, providing comprehensive insights.
