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

backgroundPerianal fistulas pose dual challenges to Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Low patient compliance due to the complexity of existing examination methods plagues the treatment and follow-up management of perianal CD.

aimTo determine the accuracy of endoanal ultrasound (EUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE) for evaluating perianal fistulizing CD (PFCD) activity.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 67 patients from August 2022 to December 2023 diagnosed with CD were divided into three groups: Non-anal fistula group (

resultsThe percentage of fistulas indicated by pelvic MRI and EUS was consistent at 82%, and there was good consistency in the classification of perianal fistulas (Kappa = 0.752,

conclusionEUS combined with SWE offers a superior method for detecting and quantitating the activity of perianal fistulas in CD patients. It may be the ideal tool to assess PFCD activity objectively for management strategies.
