Body image and its influencing factors in colorectal cancer patients with a stoma: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Aim: To identify the underlying profiles of postoperative body image in patients with colorectal cancer who have undergone stoma surgery and to analyze the factors influencing these profiles, thereby providing a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A convenience sample of 349 colorectal cancer patients with a stoma receiving treatment at a Grade A tertiary hospital in Anhui Province was selected as the study population. Data were collected using a general questionnaire, the Body Image Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23, and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent profiles of body image, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression were employed to explore their influencing factors. Results: A total of 332 valid questionnaires were collected in this study, representing a response rate of 95.1%. Body image among colorectal cancer patients with a stoma can be classified into three subtypes: low body image disturbance-emotional stability group (31.7%), moderate body image disturbance-cognitive regulation group (39.4%), and high body image disturbance-social avoidance group (28.9%). Age, gender, place of residence, educational level, stoma complications, time since stoma creation, social support, anxiety and depression, stoma adaptation, and illness perception were identified as factors influencing the latent profiles of body image among colorectal cancer patients with a stoma. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that body image among patients with colorectal cancer who have a stoma exhibits significant heterogeneity within the population. Healthcare professionals can identify patients with different body image profiles at an early stage and develop targeted nursing interventions to alleviate body image disturbances and promote the restoration of social functioning and reintegration.
