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

Imaging is crucial to assess disease extent, activity, and outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Artificial intelligence (AI) image interpretation requires automated exploitation of studies at scale as an initial step. Here we evaluate natural language processing to classify Crohn's disease (CD) on CTE. From our population representative IBD registry a sample of CD patients (male: 44.6%, median age: 50 IQR37-60) and controls (n = 981 each) CTE reports were extracted and split into training- (n = 1568), development- (n = 196), and testing (n = 198) datasets each with around 200 words and balanced numbers of labels, respectively. Predictive classification was evaluated with CNN, Bi-LSTM, BERT-110M, LLaMA-3.3-70B-Instruct and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-LLaMA-70B. While our custom IBDBERT finetuned on expert IBD knowledge (i.e. ACG, AGA, ECCO guidelines), outperformed rule- and rationale extraction-based classifiers (accuracy 88.6% with pre-tuning learning rate 0.00001, AUC 0.945) in predictive performance, LLaMA, but not DeepSeek achieved overall superior results (accuracy 91.2% vs. 88.9%, F1 0.907 vs. 0.874).
