Smooth Return to Work Through Early Rehabilitation and Interdisciplinary Collaboration After Ostomy: A Case Report of a Japanese Patient.

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
A male patient in his 40s was diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent abdominoperineal resection (APR) with permanent end colostomy as surgical treatment. He wanted to return to work as soon as possible after discharge. A physical therapist (PT) was involved in the preoperative consultation, and both the PT and occupational therapist started bed rest and activities of daily living (ADL) practice the day after surgery. On the third postoperative day, lightweight trunk exercises were initiated with a gradual increase in load. Stoma management was supervised by a nurse and progress was monitored. The patient's progress in ADLs, postoperative complications, and return to work were evaluated two weeks after discharge. Consequently, the patient was able to continue rehabilitation without early complications related to postoperative stoma. He could lift 20 kg and return to carpentry two weeks after discharge. The stoma quality of life improved from 61 points at two weeks after surgery to 74 points at two weeks after discharge. Early rehabilitation for social reintegration after ostomy creation can be safely performed under PT supervision, and a comprehensive interprofessional collaboration can contribute to smooth social reintegration.
