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
introductionBowel urgency affects the quality of life of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study used data from the Communicating Needs and Features of IBD Experiences (CONFIDE) survey to explore patient and healthcare professional (HCP) perceptions on the broad impacts of bowel urgency on patients' emotions and daily lives.
methodsOnline, quantitative, cross-sectional surveys were conducted among patients with moderate-to-severe UC or CD (defined based on previous treatment, steroid use, and/or hospitalization) and HCPs specialized in gastroenterology in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK), United States (US), and Japan. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics.
resultsThe analysis included 200 US, 556 European, and 124 Japanese patients with UC and 215 US, 547 European, and 99 Japanese patients with CD; and 200 US, 503 European, and 100 Japanese HCPs. Patients experiencing bowel urgency in the past month and HCPs reported high emotional (up to: 97% patients, 97% HCPs) and daily life (up to: 85% patients, 97% HCPs) impacts due to bowel urgency in the US, Europe, and Japan. In all geographies, these impacts were similar among patients with UC and CD. Although patients and HCPs reported a broad impact of bowel urgency, HCPs perceived a higher impact than patients, but it was not among the top three most impactful symptoms on HCPs' treatment decisions.
conclusionsBowel urgency affects the emotions and daily life of patients with UC or CD in the US, Europe, and Japan. A multidisciplinary approach is required to enhance care and develop suitable treatment strategies.
