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

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can impact the quality of life and increase health care resource utilization. Nurses play an integral role in ensuring ease of access to care between scheduled office visits. Aims: This study aimed to capture the utilization of Canadian IBD nursing telephone and e-mail services. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with an eight-item online survey was completed by nurses to assess the use of nurse-led telephone and e-mail services for IBD patients. Results: Twenty-one IBD nurses participated, and 572 patients nurse encounters were reported. Patients with ulcerative (UC) contacted with disease flare when compared to Crohn's disease (CD) (40% versus 24%, Conclusions: Nurse-managed IBD advice lines are proactive services that can address most patient disease-related concerns.
