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

Personalized medicine is increasingly shaping the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with the goal of tailoring diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to individual patients. Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has emerged as a pivotal, non-invasive, and repeatable tool for assessing disease activity, treatment response, and complications in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Beyond its role in routine monitoring, IUS enables real-time decision-making and facilitates tight control strategies, aligning with the principles of precision medicine. By combining morphological assessment with advanced techniques, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography, IUS offers unique opportunities for risk stratification and individualized treatment planning. Moreover, its accessibility, safety, and patient acceptability make IUS particularly suited for longitudinal follow-up and early detection of therapeutic failure, thereby reducing the need for invasive procedures. This review discusses the integration of IUS into personalized IBD care pathways, highlighting current evidence, clinical applications, and future perspectives.
