Process of empowerment in mothers of children with very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease: a qualitative study.
Article in Intestinal research, 2026. 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/
aimsMothers of children with very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) face unique challenges; however, these challenges and their consequences have not been well described. This study clarified the experiences and processes of empowerment of mothers of children with VEO-IBD.
methodsThis study performed a qualitative inductive analysis using semi-structured interviews. The interview content was transcribed, generating core categories, categories, and subcategories with a focus on mothers raising children with VEO-IBD. A modified grounded theory approach was employed to inductively construct a theory from the qualitative data.
resultsFifteen mothers of children with VEO-IBD were interviewed (mean age, 43.9 ± 6.2 years). The modified grounded theory approach revealed the processes experienced by the mothers. The mothers faced various difficulties when their children developed VEO-IBD; however, their efforts to cope with these difficulties changed their situation. Furthermore, they were supported by various individuals, including family members, medical personnel, and, occasionally, families of other children with VEO-IBD. These processes strengthened and empowered the mothers.
conclusionsMothers of children with VEO-IBD who faced various difficulties were empowered through their efforts and support from family and others who understood their challenges. This process of empowerment continues throughout the development of children with VEO-IBD.
