Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04223518 (Safety, Tolerability, and Nutritional Impact of Serum Bovine Immunoglobulin), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) commonly experience diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and urgency. These symptoms significantly compromise the patient's quality of life (QoL) by limiting participation in normal daily activities and adversely affect work productivity and performance. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to understand from the patient's perspective how oral serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) impacts bowel habits, management of condition, and basic QoL.

methodsA 1-page questionnaire was distributed randomly to >14,000 patients who were prescribed SBI (EnteraGam

resultsA total of 1,377 patients returned the surveys. Results from 595 surveys were analyzed with a focus on patients with IBS or IBD who had provided numeric responses regarding daily stool frequency. Respondents with IBS who reported having a normal stool frequency (≤4 stools per day) increased from 35% prior to using SBI to 91% while using SBI. A similar change toward normal stool frequency was reported by IBD respondents. Mean daily stool numbers decreased for respondents in the combined IBS and IBD groups (

conclusionResults from this patient survey suggest that SBI use can lead to clinically relevant decreases in daily stool frequency in patients with IBS or IBD along with improvements in the overall management of their condition and aspects of QoL.
