Pain self-management plus nurse-led support in young adults with irritable bowel syndrome: Study protocol for a pilot randomized control trial.
Trial report in Research in nursing & health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.
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
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gut disorder that typically manifests in early adult years. IBS patients report that pain is the most distressing symptom with the greatest impact on quality of life. Pain-sensitivity genes and the gut microbiome may influence severity of symptoms as well as response to self-management (SM) interventions. Based on current understanding of the science of SM, pain neurophysiology, and the gut-brain axis, our team developed a pain SM intervention to be added to evidence-based self-management instruction to increase the individual's SM knowledge and skills (self-efficacy, self-regulation, and goal-setting). The purpose of this randomized controlled longitudinal pilot study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the IBS-pain SM intervention on IBS-pain SM behaviors and related health outcomes. A sample of 80 young adults (age 18-29 years old) will be recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. Both groups will receive 10 electronic video modules focused on IBS-pain SM knowledge and skills. The experimental group also will receive nurse-led one-on-one phone consultations to facilitate monitoring and problem-solving. All participants will be followed over 12 weeks. Primary outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks, including IBS-pain SM behaviors, quality of life, and well-being. The influence of pain-sensitivity genes and the gut microbiome on IBS-pain SM behaviors and health outcomes also will be assessed.
