The Level of Public Knowledge about Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Article in Inflammatory intestinal diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionThere is a high degree of perceived stigma among adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with up to 84% considering a social stereotype against them due to their condition. This may negatively impact their treatment adherence and quality of life, as well as practical issues such as gaining urgent access to public bathroom facilities. It has been demonstrated that higher public knowledge levels can reduce public stigma, yet little is known about the general level of understanding of IBD in the community. A study was performed to ascertain the public knowledge levels of IBD in Christchurch, New Zealand, using a validated assessment tool.
objectivesThe aims of this study were to implement a validated knowledge survey (IBD-KID2) among members of the general public in Christchurch, New Zealand, and to assess the level of understanding about IBD.
methodsRecruitment took place at a Health Research and Education showcase event at the University of Otago (Christchurch), which is a free event open to members of the public. All people over the age of 8 years were invited to participate. Demographic information was collected and the disease-specific knowledge assessment survey IBD-KID2 completed by all participants consenting to the research.
resultsOne hundred people consented to the study, and the mean age 39.9 was years (SD 20, range 12-82 years). Of these 100 participants, 71 were female and 71 had a post-secondary education. Twelve participants had a family history of IBD. The mean IBD-KID2 score was 8.7 (SD 2.9), equal to a percentage total score of 58%. No independent variable was found to be significantly associated with IBD-KID2 scores. The frequency of correct answers showed knowledge deficiencies in the areas of nutrition, treatment, growth, and the cause of IBD.
conclusionsThis study highlighted knowledge deficiencies among members of the general public in Christchurch, New Zealand. These topics may be addressed with awareness campaigns in order to maximise community support for adults and children with IBD.
