The Frequency and Impact of Self-Imposed Elimination Diets on the Nutritional Status and Clinical Course of Disease in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsFrom the patients' perspective, diet has a relevant role in triggering symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There is a lack of prospective studies regarding the diet of children with IBD. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and impact of self-imposed elimination diets on the nutritional status and clinical course of disease in the pediatric population.
methodsThis was a prospective case-control study that included newly diagnosed patients with IBD and healthy controls (age/sex-matched peers and siblings) over a one-year period. The participants were examined in three categories: (1) anthropometric data and nutritional status; (2) dietary intake, as obtained by a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ); and (3) dietary beliefs and elimination diets, as obtained by a structured questionnaire.
resultsOverall, one-hundred and thirty-seven participants were included (twenty-eight with Crohn's disease, sixteen with ulcerative colitis, three with IBD-unclassified, and seventy healthy controls). Only 15% of patients followed the self-imposed elimination diet upon the diagnosis, which increased to 47.6% by the end of the follow-up. The elimination diet did not influence the nutritional status and quality of the diet. Self-imposed elimination diets were not a risk factor for disease relapse. Most of the patients received nutritional counseling during the follow-up.
conclusionsThe number of patients following self-imposed elimination diets had increased during the disease course but with no influence on nutritional status or relapse risk.
