Comparative analysis of enteroscopy, computed tomography enterography, and intestinal ultrasound for the evaluation of small bowel Crohn's disease.

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.
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
Background: The comparable evaluation of computed tomography enterography (CTE), enteroscopy, and intestinal ultrasound in small bowel Crohn's disease (CD) is imprecise. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the findings of enteroscopy, CTE, and intestinal ultrasound to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each method for the evaluation of small bowel CD. Design: It was a single-center, observational, retrospective study. Methods: The differences in localization of disease lesions, mucosal inflammation, and transmural inflammation between enteroscopy, CTE, and intestinal ultrasound for evaluation of small bowel CD were compared. Results: A total of 198 patients with small bowel CD were included in the analysis. CTE and intestinal ultrasound had a lower detection rate of upper intestinal lesions compared with enteroscopy ( Conclusion: Enteroscopy is superior to CTE and intestinal ultrasound for the assessment of upper intestinal CD lesions. Enteroscopy, CTE, and intestinal ultrasound were not consistent in evaluating inflammatory activity, and the three methods may need to be combined for an accurate assessment.
