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

backgroundQuantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can evaluate bowel motility in children with Crohn's disease. As inflammation increases, motility decreases.

objectiveOur aim was to show that quantitative MRI correlates with magnetic resonance enterography (MRE). We hypothesize that the motility score will inversely correlate with the Endoscopic Biopsy Acute Histologic Inflammatory Score (eAIS), the Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS) score, and the MR Index of Activity (MaRIA) score. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study of 50 pediatric patients with ileal and/or cecal Crohn's disease who underwent endoscopy and MRE within 7 days of each other without exposure to therapy. Cine images were used from patients' previously obtained MREs to obtain a motility score using GIQuant (Motilent, London, UK). The relationships between the motility score and MaRIA, eAIS, and CDEIS were then calculated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ).

resultsThe MaRIA and motility scores inversely correlated (ρ=-0.66, 95%CI (-0.79, -0.46), P<0.0001). MaRIA positively correlated with CDEIS (ρ=0.30, 95%CI (0.02, 0.53), P=0.03) and eAIS (ρ=0.26, 95%CI (0.02, 0.50), P=0.07). The motility score showed a non-significant negative correlation with CDEIS (ρ=-0.17, 95%CI (-0.43, -0.12), P=0.24) and eAIS (ρ=-0.23, 95%CI (-0.48, -0.05), P=0.11).

conclusionQuantitative MRI correlates with standard MRE in identifying inflammation of the bowel in Crohn's disease. The cine image used to produce a motility score is obtained faster than standard MRE and does not require the use of intravenous contrast, a spasmolytic agent, and breath-holding techniques.
