Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): A Scoping Review.
Review in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder. However, inconsistencies in diagnostic processes exist. This scoping review aimed to evaluate current global clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to assist clinical decision-making. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-Scr) was utilised. CPGs were identified by searching electronic databases Medline, Scopus, Embase and grey literature until March 2024. Included guidelines were published within the last 5 years in English, with recommendations for diagnosis of IBD. Publications were independently extracted and critically appraised by two reviewers using the AGREE-II tool. Diagnostic recommendations were extracted and categorized. Results: Eleven CPGs met the inclusion criteria of this review. A total of 21 recommendations were identified and classified in relation to medical history and physical examination, blood testing, computed tomography (CT), sonography, endoscopy, colonoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conclusions: Diagnostic recommendations varied across CPGs, reflecting differences in regional practices and methodological rigor. The methodological quality was inconsistent, particularly regarding the applicability of recommendations. The findings highlight the need for harmonization of diagnostic criteria, improved guideline development processes, and further research to address gaps in clinical guidance and implementation.
