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

Background: Predicting endoscopic remission is crucial for optimizing clinical treatment strategies and switching biologics in Crohn's disease (CD). Mucosal healing (MH) is a key therapeutic target. This study aimed to develop a clinically applicable prediction model for early MH in CD patients receiving biological therapy. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 120 CD patients diagnosed between 2018 and 2023, randomly divided into a training cohort and an internal validation cohort 1. Additionally, 34 prospectively enrolled CD patients diagnosed between 2024 and 2025 formed an internal validation cohort 2. Clinical indicators and conventional imaging features were evaluated to establish a clinical model. Radiomics features were extracted from computed tomography enterography (CTE) images, with regions of interest (ROIs) manually delineated to align with ulcerated intestinal segments identified through colonoscopy. A radiomics model was constructed, and a radiomics score (Rad-score) was derived. A clinical-radiomics nomogram was then developed by integrating Rad-score with clinical risk factors. Model performance was assessed using discrimination, calibration, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curves. Results: The clinical-radiomics nomogram demonstrated strong predictive performance, with AUC values of 0.948 (95% CI: 0.902-0.995) in the training cohort, 0.925 (95% CI: 0.805-1.0) in the internal validation cohort 1, and 0.940 (95% CI: 0.802-0.993) in the internal validation cohort 2. The nomogram outperformed standalone clinical and radiomics models, with DCA confirming its clinical utility. Conclusion: The developed nomogram effectively predicts early MH in CD patients undergoing biological therapy, providing a practical tool for clinicians to optimize treatment strategies and improve outcomes.
