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: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by the need for highly individualized treatment plans, requiring patients to make numerous complex medical decisions. Shared decision-making (SDM) has proven effective in improving treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction, and adherence in IBD management; however, its clinical implementation remains challenging. In China, formal SDM nurse roles have not yet been established. Aim: To establish an IBD specialist nurse position to facilitate the effective implementation of SDM in IBD care, enhance patient engagement in disease management, and improve the overall quality of IBD care in China. Methods: Since March 2021, the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University has actively promoted the establishment of the IBD specialist nurse role. This initiative defined the organizational structure, selection criteria and processes, role functions, core competencies, and training and assessment standards for the position. Guided by the Ottawa decision support framework, the responsibilities of the IBD specialist nurse within the SDM model were clarified, offering new strategies and practical approaches for IBD patient management. Results: Between March 2021 and March 2024, the IBD specialist nurse managed 2,028 patient visits, including 1,352 cases of Crohn's disease and 676 cases of ulcerative colitis. These included patients who were newly diagnosed, perioperative, in the preconception stage or pregnant, receiving biological therapies, or requiring vaccinations. Decision conflict assessments in 121 perioperative patients demonstrated lower conflict levels compared to previous studies. "Annual team recognition" of the IBD nursing role reached 94.12%. Additionally, the IBD specialist nurse played a pivotal role in nursing discipline development by establishing clinical protocols, revising practice guidelines, enhancing patient education materials, and participating actively in quality improvement initiatives and research projects. Conclusion: Our center successfully established the IBD specialist nurse role within the SDM framework, resulting in reduced patient decision conflict, improved treatment adherence, and enhanced quality of life. Future efforts will focus on refining the role evaluation system, optimizing training and promotion strategies, and strengthening policy support to further advance the professional development and broader implementation of IBD specialist nurses, thereby improving IBD management and healthcare delivery.
