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

Objective: This study aimed to synthesize the best available evidence and integrate clinical expertise to develop a structured, evidence-based leakage management system for cancer-preventive ileostomy care. Methods: A two-phase mixed-methods design was employed. First, a systematic review was conducted following the PIPOST framework (Population: cancer-preventive ileostomy patients; Intervention: leakage management strategies; Professionals: ostomy caregivers; Outcomes: leakage incidence and skin complications; Setting: hospitals; Evidence types: clinical decisions, guidelines, evidence summaries, best practices, systematic reviews, and expert consensus). Databases and clinical repositories were searched from inception to June 2024, yielding 23 high-quality documents. Second, a Delphi consensus process involving 15 ostomy nursing experts across six Chinese provinces refined the evidence into actionable clinical protocols through two iterative consultation rounds. Consensus thresholds included a Likert score ≥ 4 and coefficient of variation < 0.25. Results: The finalized leakage management system comprises three domains-prevention, assessment, and intervention-organized into 11 themes and 46 actionable items. Key components include preventive strategies for ileostomy leakage, dynamic ostomy appliance selection, and protocols for managing leakage-related skin damage. Expert consensus highlighted the importance of individualized care, with adjustments based on effluent characteristics and gas production. The Delphi panel achieved high agreement ( Conclusions: This study presents a robust, evidence-based leakage management system tailored to the needs of cancer-preventive ileostomy survivors. By integrating high-quality evidence with practical clinical insights, the system offers valuable guidance for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of ostomy nursing care in real-world settings. Systematic review registration: ES20245104.
