Evaluation of a Mental Health Care App-Based Fatigue Management Program for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Remission: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in JMIR research protocols, 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: Fatigue remains a major unresolved issue affecting the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), even during clinical remission. Scalable psychological approaches are needed to support effective fatigue management. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent mobile cognitive behavioral intervention package for fatigue management among patients with IBD in remission and to explore factors associated with engagement with the intervention and its effectiveness. Methods: This was an open-label, waitlist-controlled randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants were adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis who met remission criteria and had at least mild fatigue. Participants were randomized 1:1 using stratified block randomization based on disease type, sex, and baseline fatigue severity. The intervention was a multicomponent mobile intervention package centered on a 7-week cognitive behavioral therapy-based educational course, supplemented by adjunctive support messages. The primary outcome was fatigue, measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), and the secondary outcome was self-efficacy, measured using the 13-item Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (IBD-SES13). A sample size of 175 participants per group was required. Results: Recruitment of participants began on July 28, 2025, and ended on February 24, 2026. A total of 502 patients with IBD in clinical remission agreed to participate and were assessed for eligibility. Among them, 351 met the eligibility criteria and were randomized, while 151 (30.0%) had FACIT-F scores of 40 or higher and were excluded. Currently, follow-up is ongoing. The clinical outcome data will be analyzed after follow-up is completed, and the results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2027. Conclusions: This study may contribute valuable knowledge regarding participant engagement and the potential impact of a multicomponent mobile cognitive behavioral intervention package on fatigue in patients with IBD. The findings will support future refinement of the intervention and inform large-scale evaluations and implementation efforts.
