Chronic abdominal pain in inflammatory bowel disease: a practical guide.
Review in Frontline gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Pain is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet many patients feel their pain is not addressed by healthcare professionals. Listening to a patient's concerns about pain, assessing symptoms and acknowledging the impact these have on daily life remain crucial steps in addressing pain in IBD. While acute pain may be effectively controlled by pain medication, chronic pain is more complex and often pharmacological therapies, particularly opioids, are ineffective. Low-dose tricyclic antidepressants and psychological approaches, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, have shown some promise in offering effective pain management while lifestyle changes such as a trial of low-fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols diet in those with overlapping irritable bowel syndrome may also reduce pain. Patients benefit from a long-term, trusting relationship with their healthcare professional to allow a holistic approach combining pharmacological, psychological, lifestyle and dietary approaches to chronic pain. We present a practical review to facilitate management of chronic abdominal pain in IBD.
