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

Aim: To investigate potential types of food avoidance among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and identify the contributing factors. Background: Food avoidance may be an important risk factor for poor physical and mental health in patients with IBD. However, there is limited research on food avoidance within the Chinese context. Methods: Between July 2022 and December 2023, patients with IBD during appointment at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University was investigated with paper questionnaires to assess food avoidance, food category avoidance, fear of disease progression, negative illness perception, IBD-related self-efficacy, and social support. Demographic and disease-related characteristics were also collected. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to examine food avoidance in patients with IBD, and the correlates were investigated using regression analysis. Results: LPA showed that respondents could be classified into three groups in terms of food avoidance, namely, the mild-food avoidance adaptation group ( Conclusion: Patients with IBD may exhibit long-term, spontaneous food avoidance, which often presents at high levels. Furthermore, patients with IBD exhibit considerable heterogeneity in their food avoidance patterns, categorizing them into three distinct categories. Future dietary management strategies should be tailored based on the specific characteristics and predictive factors of these food avoidance patterns. Implications for Nursing Management: Given the prevalence and heterogeneity of food avoidance in patients with IBD, nurse managers should implement stratified interventions tailored to patient characteristics. Training nurses in culturally sensitive dietary education and emotional regulation strategies may improve the management of food-related behaviors and support patients' adaptive coping with the disease.
