Impact of inflammatory bowel diseases on the intimate lives of youths: Creating a brief screening questionnaire.
Article in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe objectives were to describe the challenges faced by youths with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in their intimate lives before the onset of sexual activity and develop a screening tool to detect early difficulties.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional qualitative study via semi-structured interviews with 15-19-year-olds diagnosed with IBD. To be eligible for inclusion, these adolescents had to respond having not yet started their sexual life. This led to a collaborative development of a detection tool with a multidisciplinary team to evaluate adolescents' intimate life stage and to early screen difficulties.
resultsFifteen subjects were recruited. Among them eight were males, 10 were followed for Crohn's disease while five were followed for ulcerative colitis. The median age was 16 years. Nine out of 15 teenagers felt unprepared and reluctant for intimate relationship. Teenagers who have started their romantic journey, expressed satisfaction with their intimate lives, but the possibility of experiencing diarrhea or abdominal pain during intimate moments may be a concern.
conclusionThe study highlights a general reluctance among adolescents with IBD to engage in intimate relationships, and IBD symptoms may be a concern for intimate life. It resulted in the creation of a brief detection tool allowing clinicians to early screen and address intimate life issues, fostering better support for this vulnerable group's challenges.
