Experience of participating in national home-based medical care project for cancer patients with a temporary stoma: a qualitative study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to explore the experiences of cancer patients with a temporary stoma who participated in a home-based healthcare service and to provide data to inform national health system policy development.
methodsThis exploratory qualitative study involved 10 cancer patients with temporary stomas (five with rectal cancer, two with colorectal cancer, and three with ovarian cancer) recruited through purposive sampling in South Korea. In-depth, semi-structured online focus group interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsFour main themes were identified from the interview data: (1) adjusting with changes in daily life owing to the presence of a stoma, (2) skill building while participating in the project, (3) the need for a home-based medical care system during transitional care, and (4) the need for support in adapting to an ostomy. These themes included 12 subthemes. The findings highlight the need for ongoing health education and counseling services at a national level to support post-discharge self-care for cancer patients who had undergone ostomy.
conclusionPatients with cancer discharged after colostomy surgery require continuous education and practical medical support, suggesting that home-based healthcare services may serve as a valuable alternative to conventional medical care.
