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

backgroundGiven the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on both physical health and psychosocial functioning, the management of pediatric IBD requires a multidisciplinary approach that provides holistic care, rapid access, and health education to young patients with IBD. Yet despite recommendations, a formalized clinic model for holistic pediatric IBD care remains an unmet need for this population.

objectiveThe objective of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the implementation of a new clinic model aimed at providing holistic care, rapid access, and health education for pediatric patients with IBD.

methodsThis study uses a multiperspective mixed methods design, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collected simultaneously from clinicians, parents or guardians, and pediatric patients. The quantitative component includes a pre-post implementation chart review, structured observations of clinical practices, and surveys tailored to pediatric patients and their parents or guardians. The qualitative aspect encompasses semistructured interviews with clinicians and parents or guardians as well as play-based interviews with patients. Triangulation will be used to converge these different methodologies and to produce a holistic evaluation of the IBD clinic.

resultsThis study was approved by the Humber River Health Research Ethics Board on December 23, 2024. Recruitment for this study began on January 30, 2025, and we anticipate a data collection end date of December 2025.

conclusionsGiven that this clinic model is relatively new, this protocol will provide sound methodological direction for other studies that aim to evaluate or implement this type of model in their setting. The evaluation itself will provide comprehensive insights into both the successes and challenges of implementing a multidisciplinary approach that provides a holistic model of care for pediatric patients with IBD. As such, this evaluation will be foundational in providing an applied understanding of the impact and effectiveness of this holistic approach in pediatric patients with IBD.
