Challenges in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinical and experimental gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
There is a rising prevalence of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) worldwide. This article aims to explore the key issues in managing PIBD and attempts to propose evidence-based recommendations. We reviewed published literature on PIBD, including original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, consensus statements, and position papers. The databases searched were PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus, using terms related to inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, children, adolescents, and pediatrics. The selected articles were critically appraised, summarised and incorporated into the review. PIBD presents multifaceted challenges. They include atypical presentations, very early onset cases, growth and nutritional challenges that affect linear development and pubertal progression, pharmacological management issues related to age-specific medication safety and efficacy and timing of surgical interventions. There are impacts on development; psychosocial burden challenges in education, social development, and family dynamics, all crucial in the future of the child. There are also limitations in access to PIBD services with personalised treatment approaches and challenges in transitional care. It is important to identify these unique challenges posed by PIBD and address them in a comprehensive manner in a multidisciplinary approach.
