Designing the Essential Informational Needs of a Smartphone Application for Self-Management of Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic digestive disease that has a detrimental effect on the quality of life of IBD patients. This study aims to identify the informational needs and design the essential informational needs for a smartphone application for the self-management of IBD. Methods: This study was conducted in two stages and the informational needs of the patients were extracted in a questionnaire designed in three separate sections and given to 120 patients with UC and 60 patients with CD. Results: After a literature review and analysis of patient responses, it was found that Knowledge of the disease, Medication, Educational information, Complications, Diet & Nutrition, and Lifestyle habits are among the most important domains of informational needs of inflammatory bowel disease patients. Conclusion: Patients with IBD have many informational needs, and in this study, identifying these needs, can help improve the quality of life of these patients and be of interest to healthcare providers, designers, and developers of applications.
