1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAlthough there is a growing emphasis on supportive care for cancer patients, those with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have ostomies require special attention in terms of their physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs. However, there has been a lack of significant progress in meeting the supportive care needs of CRC survivors with ostomies. To bridge this gap, we conducted a prospective longitudinal study to track the trends in supportive care needs among CRC survivors with ostomies and identify any predictors over 6-month period.

methodsA prospective longitudinal study was conducted at the wound and stoma clinic of Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, focusing on CRC survivors with ostomies. A total of 143 participants completed self-report questionnaires on the 34-item Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34-C (Mandarin)) and stoma complications at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery. ANOVA with repeated measure was utilized to assess the course of supportive care needs, with Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) applied to identify predictors of SCNS.

resultsThe supportive care needs and five dimensions scores were statistically significant at three time points (P < 0.05). The ratings of patients at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery revealed a decreasing trend in the scores for patient care and support, psychological needs, physical and daily living needs, and health system and information needs. However, the score for sexual needs showed an increased tendency. Higher levels supportive care needs were generally connected with a short duration after ostomy, high income level, resident medical insurance, spouse caregiver, other chronic disease, and stoma complications.

conclusionsSurvivors' supportive care needs showed a dynamic trend over 6 months after surgery. Through three rounds, the primary needs were health system and information needs. It is recommended to integrate interdisciplinary health professionals and establish a comprehensive support and care system to effectively meet the diverse needs at different stages. Priority should be given to individuals with ostomies during the first and third month after surgery, particularly those with higher income levels, employee medical insurance, spouse caregivers, other chronic diseases, and stoma complications.
