Empowerment-Based Continuity of Care for Postoperative Upper Urinary Tract Calculi Patients with Double-J Stents: Effects on Self-Care and Compliance.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2026. 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
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a continuity-of-care model based on empowerment theory in patients with upper urinary tract calculi undergoing postoperative double-J stent placement. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 124 patients treated from February 2024 to April 2025. Patients were assigned to a control group (routine nursing, n = 62) or an Intervention group (empowerment-based continuity care, n = 62). Compliance behavior, self-care ability (ESCA), self-efficacy (GSES), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), postoperative complications, and nursing satisfaction (NSNS) were compared between groups. Results: The Intervention group showed higher compliance (91.94% vs 79.03%, P < 0.05). Post-intervention ESCA, GSES, and WHOQOL-BREF scores improved in both groups, with greater gains in the Intervention group (P < 0.05). Complication incidence was lower in the Intervention group (4.84% vs 16.13%, P < 0.05), and nursing satisfaction was higher (95.16% vs 82.26%, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Empowerment-based continuity care significantly enhances self-care ability, adherence behavior, self-efficacy, and quality of life in postoperative double-J stent patients, while reducing complications and improving nursing satisfaction. This model supports patient-centered care and promotes active patient participation.
