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

objectiveTo report on the current state of outpatient nursing care for patients with an intestinal fistula in a stoma clinic in China.

methodsThis retrospective study included 41 patients with an intestinal fistula who visited the stoma clinic in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China, between January 2019 and December 2023. Electronic medical records were selected for analysis of patients' clinical data, fistula diagnosis and treatment process, and outcome regression.

resultsFew patients with an intestinal fistula are referred to the stoma clinic for nursing care (1.29%). At patients' first visit to the stoma clinic, the majority of those with an intestinal fistula (87.80%) had perifistular moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). The mean discolor, erosion, and tissue score was 6.73 ± 4.35, the mean healing time for MASD was 8.77 ± 8.51 days, and the mean number of follow-ups was 3.41 ± 1.92. The majority of patients (87.80%) complained of accompanying pain of different degrees. The mean self-healing time for nonoperative treatment was 301.96 ± 193.95 days. Enterostomal therapists applied the dressings to care for the skin around the fistula and formulated and guided a personalized management method to effectively contain output.

conclusionsThe quality of outpatient nursing care for patients with an intestinal fistula needs to be optimized. Standardized assessment and individualized precise intervention can reduce the incidence of complications such as MASD and improve the quality of care and prognosis of patients.
