The PANACEA Project: a multinational model for digital health literacy in inflammatory bowel disease.

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: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents an increasing public health challenge in Latin America, where structural inequities and limited access to standardized education contribute to gaps in health literacy. Despite the recognized role of patient education in IBD care, region-wide, structured digital initiatives remain limited. Objective: To describe the implementation, reach, and educational performance of PANACEA (PANamerican Crohn's and Colitis Educational Approach), a multinational digital education program for patients with IBD and caregivers in Latin America. Methods: We conducted a multicenter observational descriptive study evaluating four consecutive PANACEA cohorts delivered between 2024 and 2025 through an asynchronous e-learning platform. Adults with IBD or caregivers voluntarily enrolled and completed standardized pre- and post-module knowledge assessments and satisfaction surveys. Program adherence, baseline characteristics, knowledge change, normalized learning gain, and user satisfaction were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 1366 participants from 15 Latin American countries completed baseline assessments (mean age 41.4 years; 80% female). Sustained adherence to the platform was 53.1%. Cohorts with intermediate baseline knowledge demonstrated improvements in program-specific knowledge assessments (absolute improvement 8-9 points; normalized gain 0.43-0.52), while cohorts with high baseline scores exhibited ceiling effects. Participants with lower baseline knowledge tended to demonstrate greater relative improvements in knowledge scores. Satisfaction exceeded 90% across content quality, usability, and perceived usefulness. Conclusions: This observational evaluation demonstrates that PANACEA is a feasible and scalable digital education model for IBD in Latin America, achieving broad regional reach, high user satisfaction, and improvements in program-specific knowledge scores, particularly among participants with lower baseline knowledge levels.
