Effect of a nursing instructional module on the acute side effects of double-J stent removal for ureterolithiasis patients: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 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
Background: The double-J (DJ) stent is an indispensable device in urology, a rudimentary part of numerous procedures and a management tool for patients with ureteric calculi. However, some issues connected to its usage still arise. The issues include patient discomfort, urinary symptoms (such as urgency and frequency), hematuria, infection, stent migration, and encrustation with prolonged indwelling time. Aim: The study aims to determine whether awhether a nursing instructional module has a positive effect on the acute side effects of DJ stent removal for ureterolithiasis patients. Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design on 50 patients (25 in the study group, with a nursing instuctional model, and 25 in the control group, with support as usual). The patient's knowledge about ureteral stones, the ureteral DJ stent assessment chart and the Ureteral Stent Discomfort tools were used to measure the patient's knowledge about ureteral stones and appraise the ureteral stent discomfort and acute side effects after removal in the two groups. Results: Most studied patients were males (64.0, 56.0%) and married (80.0, 76.0%). There was a 100% satisfactory knowledge level for the study group and highly statistically significant differences in all domains of the ureteral stent discomfort test of urinary symptoms among ureterolithiasis patients after the nursing instructional module implementation for the studied patients. Conclusion: Implementing the nursing instructional module effectively refined patients' knowledge and reduced ureteral stent discomfort and acute side effects.
