Coping Strategies and Experiences of Patients With Crohn's Disease During the COVID-19 Epidemic: A Descriptive Phenomenology Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimsTo describe the flexible coping strategies and measures made by Crohn's disease patients during the COVID-19 epidemic to determine their experiences with COVID-19 and epidemic management.
designA descriptive phenomenology study based on interviews.
methodsTwelve patients with Crohn's disease were interviewed from two Grade III and Grade A hospitals in Nanjing from February 2022 to June 2022. Twelve interviews were audio-taped or recorded live and content was analysed following Colaizzi's seven-step method. Transcripts were verbatim transcribed and analysed using Colaizzi's seven-step descriptive phenomenological method. Data management was supported by NVivo 11 software.
resultsThe analysis of interviews identified five themes and 14 subthemes. Crohn's disease patients demonstrated a capacity for adapting to the evolving landscape of medical care during the COVID-19 epidemic, underscoring the importance of self-management. Patients took voluntary measures to cope with the continuous adjustment of epidemic management, such as flexible adjustment of medical treatment plans. Improving existing management measures may help both healthcare professionals and patients in effectively responding to infectious disease epidemics, which suggests that we should pay attention to humanized management and hospital construction in the future. Additionally, we should pay more attention to the psychological impact of COVID-19, both positive and negative. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
