Diagnostic performance of intestinal ultrasound compared with CT enterography in Crohn's disease: single-center experience.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic value of transabdominal bowel ultrasonography (TBUS) examination for identifying the location of Crohn's disease (CD) lesions and their complications in relation to computed tomography enterography (CTE). Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 100 patients diagnosed with CD in our hospital from February 2022 to December 2023 was conducted. All patients underwent regular treatment after diagnosis, and CTE and TBUS examinations were performed at a 6-month (±2 weeks) follow-up after diagnosis. The efficacy of CTE examination and TBUS examination in diagnosing CD and its complications were compared through clinical diagnosis as a final criterion, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for diagnosis. Results: The sensitivity of both diagnostic methods for intestinal wall thickening was 96.94% (95/98), indicating no statistical significance ( Conclusion: TBUS examination can achieve diagnostic results comparable to CTE, clearly displaying lesion site and intestinal segment structure of CD patients, and it exerts unique advantages in detecting extraintestinal complications. Thus, TBUS examination possesses high value in CD-assisted diagnosis and follow-up.
