The Impact of Multidisciplinary Conferences on Treatment Plans for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Tertiary Canadian Centre.
Article in Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMultidisciplinary conference presentation may provide recommendations for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
methodsA prospective observational study was completed evaluating if case presentation resulted in a direct change in management for patients presented over a 2-year period in a tertiary Canadian centre. Change in management was defined as hospital admission, surgery or surgical referral, start/change in biologic therapy or other medication or initiation of parenteral nutrition. Secondary outcomes included the involvement of specialists and other referrals. Data were analyzed using frequencies and means with standard deviations.
resultsIn 63 multidisciplinary conferences, 181 patients were presented, of whom 136 patients met the inclusion criteria of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's
conclusionsPresentation of complex inflammatory bowel disease cases at multidisciplinary conference leads to a direct change in treatment in one quarter of cases, with surgical referral as the most frequent outcome.
