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

Autoimmune diseases frequently involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and can present with nonspecific symptoms that delay diagnosis. Their manifestations range from subtle motility disturbances to life-threatening ischemia, perforation, or obstruction. Advances in cross-sectional imaging have reshaped the evaluation of autoimmune and vasculitic diseases, allowing recognition of mural, mesenteric, and vascular signatures that reflect the underlying pathophysiology. Integrating these findings with clinical and serologic data remains essential to narrow differential diagnoses and to guide early management. This review adopts a pattern-based framework to classify autoimmune diseases with GI involvement into three categories: primary autoimmune GI diseases (celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis); systemic autoimmune diseases with secondary GI involvement (systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome); and other autoimmune or vasculitic entities with occasional GI manifestations (polyarteritis nodosa, IgA vasculitis, Behçet disease, Takayasu arteritis, dermatomyositis, and IgG4-related disease). Understanding these imaging patterns within the clinical and serologic context enhances diagnostic confidence, facilitates early recognition of complications, and promotes multidisciplinary collaboration in the management of autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases.
