Investigation of Effects of Preoperative Readiness on Symptom Management in Patients with Intestinal Stoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study.
Synthesis in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aims to examine the effect of preoperative readiness on postoperative symptom management in patients with intestinal stoma through systematic review and meta-analysis.
methods"Intestinal stoma", "complications" and other related terms were searched regardless of the language of publication in the publications published in the databases until December 29, 2021.
resultAs a result, 30 studies were found. Two independent reviewers reviewed the studies, and the methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Health Evidence™ Quality Assessment Tool. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3 was used to analyze the data. Publication bias, funnel plot, and the effect size were calculated using Cohen's kappa. Preparation for intestinal stoma surgery consisted of two main themes, and postoperative complications/problems consisted of nine sub-themes. The meta-analysis results showed that preoperative readiness had a moderate effect size on postoperative complications (d=0.498, d=0.457).
conclusionIt was thus concluded that preoperative practices were significant and effective in postoperative symptom management.
