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

objectivesThe current number of healthcare providers (HCP) caring for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across Canadian tertiary-care centres is underinvestigated. The aim of this survey was to assess the number of healthcare providers (HCP) in ambulatory pediatric IBD care across Canadian tertiary-care centres.

methodsUsing a self-administered questionnaire, we examined available resources in academic pediatric centres within the Canadian Children IBD Network. The survey evaluated the number of HCP providing ambulatory care for children with IBD.

resultsAll 12 tertiary pediatric gastroenterology centres participating in the network responded. Median full-time equivalent (FTE) of allied health professionals providing IBD care at each site was 1.0 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.6-1.0) nurse, 0.5 (IQR 0.2-0.8) dietitian, 0.3 (IQR 0.2-0.8) social worker, and 0.1 (IQR 0.02-0.3) clinical psychologists. The ratio of IBD patients to IBD physicians was 114 : 1 (range 31 : 1-537 : 1), patients to nurses/physician assistants 324 : 1 (range 150 : 1-900 : 1), dieticians 670 : 1 (range 250 : 1-4500 : 1), social workers 1558 : 1 (range 250 : 1-16000 : 1), and clinical psychologists 2910 : 1 (range 626 : 1-3200 : 1).

conclusionsThere was a wide variation in HCP support among Canadian centres. Future work will examine variation in care including patients' outcomes and satisfaction across Canadian centres.
