Construction and clinical validation of a Team STEPPS-based discharge planning program for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Trial report in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The transition from hospital to home is a high-risk period for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This study aimed to develop and preliminarily validate a structured discharge planning program for patients with IBD by applying the Team STEPPS framework. Methods: This study employed a sequential two-phase, mixed-methods design. First, a Team STEPPS-based discharge planning program was rigorously developed using Delphi method between August and October 2023. Subsequently, a randomized controlled trial was conducted from October 2023 to March 2024 to validate the program. Ninety eligible inpatients were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: All 90 enrolled participants completed the study. The Delphi process successfully achieved expert consensus, resulting in a structured discharge program with all items meeting predefined criteria (mean importance ≥ 4.0, coefficient of variation ≤ 0.25). In the subsequent randomized controlled trial, baseline characteristics were well-balanced. At discharge, the intervention group exhibited statistically superior outcomes, including significantly higher discharge readiness (103.0 ± 7.3 vs. 94.9 ± 4.7, Conclusion: A Team STEPPS-based discharge planning program was successfully developed and shown to be effective, significantly improving discharge readiness, the quality of discharge teaching, and health-related quality of life in patients with IBD.
