Determining the perception of stigma of individuals with ostomies.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of the study is to determine the stigmatization perceived by individuals with intestinal ostomy to recognize these issues and assist them in the adjustment to having an ostomy.
methodsThe study is descriptive and qualitative study. Interviews were conducted with a total of 14 individuals who were able to communicate, and had a permanent intestinal ostomy in the outpatient center of a university hospital. The content analysis method was used in data analysis.
resultsThree main themes and seven subthemes were identified. The main themes were "perceived stigma", "changes in life" and "emotional responses". The majority of the patients experienced internalized stigma.
conclusionIn this study, individuals with intestinal ostomies perceveid both internalized and experienced stigma. Negative feelings with perceived stigma restricted social lives, decreased relationships with relatives, neighbors, and friends, reduced the desire to go out and negatively affected body image and sexual life. Education programs can be organized to help them cope with this situation.
