Psychological Factors May Play an Important Role in Pediatric Crohn's Disease Symptoms and Disability.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00679003 (Psychosocial Intervention for Children With IBD), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the relative contributions of disease activity and psychological factors to self-reported symptoms and disability in children with Crohn's disease. STUDY
designParticipants (n = 127 children age 8-18 years) completed questionnaires on symptom severity and disability, as well as psychological measures assessing anxiety, depression, pain beliefs and coping. Disease activity was measured by the Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index. Structural equation modeling was used to test the effects of disease activity and psychological factors on symptoms and disability.
resultsIn the hypothesized model predicting symptoms, psychological factors (β = 0.58; P < .001) were significantly associated with disease symptoms but disease activity was not. The model for disability yielded significant associations for both psychological factors (β = 0.75; P < .001) and disease activity (β = 0.61, P < .05).
conclusionCrohn's disease symptoms in children and adolescents are not only driven by disease activity. Coping, anxiety, depression, and cognition of illness are important in the patient-reporting of symptom severity and disability. Physicians need to be aware that symptom self-reporting can be driven by psychological factors and may not always be simply an indicator of disease activity.
