Implementation of a novel enterostomy chassis measuring tool to improve ostomy nursing outcomes.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
objectiveTo explore the application and effect of a new type of ostomy chassis measuring scale in the nursing care of patients with ileostomy.
methodsForty-two patients with ileostomy who met the inclusion criteria (first ileostomy performed without surgical complications, age ≥ 18 years, and voluntary participation with informed consent) were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to the control group (Group A, n = 20) and intervention group (Group B, n = 22) according to their hospitalization number. Group A used the conventional ostomy chassis measurement method, while Group B used a new type of ostomy chassis measuring ruler. The leakage rate of the ostomy chassis, time spent cutting the ostomy chassis, number of nurse teaching sessions needed to master the correct cutting method, and differences in self-efficacy and discharge readiness scores were compared between groups using t-tests and chi-square tests, with significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsThe leakage rate of the ostomy chassis in Group B was significantly lower than in Group A (18.2% vs. 55.0%, χ² = 6.185, p = 0.013). Group B also had significantly shorter cutting time (8.45 ± 1.67 min vs. 12.30 ± 2.98 min, t = -4.667, p < 0.001) and fewer nurse teaching sessions required (2.30 ± 0.98 vs. 3.45 ± 0.60, t = -4.196, p < 0.001). Furthermore, self-efficacy (113.95 ± 15.76 vs. 77.00 ± 8.52, t = 10.262, p < 0.001) and discharge readiness scores (159.45 ± 18.81 vs. 110.10 ± 27.95, t = 6.723, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in Group B compared to Group A.
conclusionThe application of the new ostomy chassis measuring scale can effectively reduce the time required for ostomy care, enable more accurate cutting of the ostomy chassis, and decrease complications such as leakage. This improvement enhances patients’ quality of life and reduces the nursing workload. We recommend adopting this measurement method in clinical practice to improve ostomy care efficiency and patient outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
