Non-invasive monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease using intestinal ultrasound.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIntestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a safe and effective way for the diagnosis and surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It allows a noninvasive and reproducible follow-up for patients with IBD.
aimTo compare the outcomes of colonoscopy and IUS in diagnosing and monitoring patients with IBD.
methodsA prospective study was conducted over a three-year period (January 2021 to April 2024) comparing endoscopic and IUS findings. A total of 101 patients were included in the study (68 with Crohn's disease and 33 with ulcerative colitis). All patients underwent both IUS and colonoscopy within a 10-day period.
resultsThe study found a strong correlation between bowel thickening on IUS and inflammatory activity (
conclusionThe study's findings demonstrated excellent results for using IUS in the diagnosis and follow-up of IBD patients.
