A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Impact of Preoperative Stoma Simulation on Anxiety and Postoperative Adaptation: A Study Protocol.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06737887 (The Effect of Preoperative Stoma Simulation on Anxiety and Postoperative Adaptation), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
aimThis study aims to evaluate the effects of preoperative stoma simulation on preoperative state anxiety and postoperative stoma adaptation among individuals scheduled for stoma surgery.
designThis study is designed as a two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.
methodsA total of 52 patients scheduled for stoma surgery will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n = 26) or the control group (n = 26). The intervention group will receive a structured preoperative stoma simulation in addition to standard care, whereas the control group will receive standard preoperative care alone. The primary outcome is preoperative state anxiety, which will be measured using the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory 24 h before surgery and on the morning of surgery. The secondary outcome is postoperative stoma adaptation, which will be assessed at discharge and 1 month after surgery using the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory. Data will be collected through face-to-face interviews. Outcome assessments will be conducted by a blinded assessor, and statistical analyses will be performed by a blinded statistician.
resultsAs this manuscript presents the study protocol, the results are not yet available. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of preoperative stoma simulation in reducing anxiety and improving postoperative adaptation.
conclusionThis trial is expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of preoperative stoma simulation on preoperative state anxiety and postoperative stoma adaptation and may contribute to the development of evidence-based nursing interventions for individuals undergoing stoma surgery. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients or the public were not involved in the design, conduct, reporting, or dissemination plans of this research.
