Quality of life profiles and their association with clinical and demographic characteristics and physical activity in people with a stoma: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeQuality of life can be negatively impacted by the formation of a stoma and is influenced by a number of factors. Research to date treats people with a stoma as a homogenous group based on their quality of life. We attempted to identify subgroups based upon self-reported quality of life and explored variables associated with group membership.
methodsThe present study is a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional sample of 1419 people with a stoma. Participants completed validated questionnaires for quality of life, physical activity and clinical and demographic characteristics. Latent profile analysis was used to identify the optimal number of subgroups (profiles) and multinomial regression modelling was conducted to identify variables associated with profile membership.
resultsThe analysis revealed 4 distinct profiles of people with a stoma: 'consistently good quality of life' [N = 891 (62.8%)], 'some quality of life concerns' [N = 184 (13.0%)], 'low quality of life' [N = 181 (12.8%)] and 'financial concerns' [N = 163 (11.5%)]. Modelling revealed that people with a recent stoma (formed < 2 years previously), who have a hernia and are less physically active were more likely to belong to the 'low quality of life' profile. Furthermore, those aged 16-55 were more likely to have financial concerns.
conclusionThis study was the first to identify latent profiles within this population and assess whether certain variables are associated with membership. Future research should build upon this to identify additional variables associated with these profiles, which can help to provide the basis for targeting and tailoring future interventions to specific subgroups of people with a stoma.
