Stoma Care Nurse Consultations Regarding Leakages and Peristomal Skin Complications During the First Year After Ostomy Creation: A Chart Review.
Article in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the first year after ostomy creation, affected persons require substantial support to manage potential complications and adjust to their new life situation. This study aimed to describe the number of visits to the stoma care nurse, the occurrence of leakage and peristomal skin complications, and the use of ostomy products to prevent these complications among persons consulting a stoma care nurse during the first year after surgery. A descriptive study was conducted using data from medical charts for 240 adults with ileostomy or colostomy. Persons with an ileostomy were more burdened by leakage and peristomal skin complications and visited the stoma care nurse more often than those with a colostomy. On average, across ostomy types, episodes of leakage and peristomal skin complications each elicited around one additional nurse visit and increased use of supporting ostomy products. Persons undergoing acute surgery, with a high ASA classification, and females experienced more episodes of leakage, peristomal skin complications and nurse visits. A patient-tailored approach based on risk factors, such as surgery type, ASA class and sex, could potentially reduce the occurrence of complications and the associated healthcare resource utilisation, including stoma care nurse visits. High variability in results further underscores the importance of personalised care.
