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

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory condition. Histologic healing is associated with better outcomes in CD, while less is known regarding the assessment of histological condition. Recently, a study has examined the discordance between endoscopic and histopathologic assessment in ileal CD, revealing a poor correlation between endoscopic and histologic evaluations in assessing mucosal inflammation and disease activity. However, the involvement of CD can span the entire gastrointestinal tract, as well as numerous clinical manifestations and extraintestinal complications, and the patchy nature of transmural inflammation is a well-established characteristic of this disease. The diagnosis of CD relies on a comprehensive evaluation that includes clinical, biochemical, stool, endoscopic, cross-sectional imaging, and histological investigations due to the incomplete understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis. Upon diagnosis, complimentary investigations should focus on markers of disease activity. Since transmural inflammation can only be assessed in resections, therefore, we primarily focused on the evaluation value of clinical aspects, histological scoring systems, particular
