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

purposeThis study aimed to explore the postoperative sleep experience of colorectal cancer patients with temporary stomas.

methodsThis was a descriptive qualitative study. Seventeen eligible patients with temporary stomas were purposively sampled and participated in face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsFour main themes and 12 subthemes emerged: (1) Treatment-related physical symptoms disrupting sleep (postoperative pain and discomfort; nighttime stoma care burden; Drug-related adverse reactions). (2) Bidirectional reinforcement between psychosocial distress and sleep disturbances (nocturnal rumination in the context of self-perceived burden; nighttime exacerbation of negative emotions; Mutual aggravation of distress and sleep dysfunction). (3) Adaptive challenges to sleep environments and routines (hospital-environmental barriers to sleep; home sleep-environment reorganization; changes in sleep habits). (4) Patient-initiated sleep optimization strategies (self-management techniques for relaxation; dietary modifications; seeking professional support).

conclusionsThe postoperative sleep experiences of patients with temporary stomas are complex, influenced by multiple factors including physical, psychological, and care-related aspects, and have relatively inadequate supportive measures.
