1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is increasing in incidence globally, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) facing a rapid surge in disease burden. However, the availability of structured training programs for IBD care remains highly unequal. This review evaluates the current global landscape of IBD workforce training, with an emphasis on identifying gaps and proposing solutions to enhance multidisciplinary preparedness. The IBD care team extends beyond gastroenterologists and includes surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, IBD nurses, dietitians, and mental health professionals. Yet, structured training pathways and credentialing mechanisms are scarce outside of high-income countries. Key barriers include limited access, financial constraints, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of standardized curricula. Emerging digital platforms, simulation-based education, and role-specific training frameworks offer promising strategies. Developing globally harmonized curricula, enhancing funding models, and fostering international collaborations are essential to build a resilient and equitable IBD workforce. Addressing these disparities is critical to improving global IBD outcomes.
