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

Introduction: Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) self-management. However, it is unclear which types of self-management interventions are effective. We conducted a systematic literature review to clarify the status and efficacy of self-management interventions for IBD. Methods: Searches were performed in databases including Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Library. Randomized, controlled studies of interventions in adult human participants with IBD involving a self-management component published in English from 2000 to 2020 were included. Studies were stratified based on study design, baseline demographic characteristics, methodological quality, and how outcomes were measured and analyzed for statistically significant improvements in outcomes, such as psychological health, quality of life, and healthcare resource usage. Results: Among 50 studies included, 31 considered patients with IBD and 14 and 5 focused on patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, respectively. Improvements in an outcome were reported in 33 (66%) studies. Most of the interventions that significantly improved an outcome index were based on symptom management and many of these were also delivered in combination with provision of information. We also note that among effective interventions, many were conducted with individualized and patient-participatory activities, and multidisciplinary healthcare practitioners were responsible for delivery of the interventions. Conclusion: Ongoing interventions that focus on symptom management with provision of information may support self-management behavior in patients with IBD. A participatory intervention targeting individuals was suggested to be an effective intervention method.
