Application of a nurse-led transitional care programme for patients discharged with T-tubes after biliary surgery.

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
aimNurse-led transitional care programmes (TCPs) have been shown to facilitate patient recovery in several illness settings, but its role among patients discharged with T-tubes remains uncertain. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a nurse-led TCP among patients discharged with T-tubes.
designThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary medical centre.
methodsFrom January 2018 to December 2020, a total of 706 patients discharged with T-tubes after biliary surgery were included in the study. Patients were divided into a TCP group (n = 255) and a control group (n = 451) based on whether they participated in a TCP. The baseline characteristics, discharge readiness, self-care ability, transitional care quality and quality of life (QoL) were compared between the groups.
resultsSelf-care ability and transitional care quality were significantly higher in the TCP group. Patients in the TCP group also exhibited improved QoL and satisfaction. The results suggest that the incorporation of a nurse-led TCP among patients discharged with T-tubes after biliary surgery is feasible and effective. No Patient or Public Contribution.
