Effects of self-management interventions on self-care ability and quality of life in patients with urinary ostomy after bladder cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 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 systematically assess the effects of structured self-management interventions on self-care ability, quality of life (QoL), anxiety, and stoma-related complications in bladder cancer patients with urinary ostomy, providing evidence to guide clinical practice and intervention design. Methods: A systematic search of CNKI, WanFang, VIP Database, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted from January 1, 2016, to January 1, 2026. Randomized controlled trials evaluating self-management interventions in bladder cancer patients with urinary ostomy were included. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4, and effect sizes were expressed as standardized mean difference (SMD) or risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using the I Results: A total of 27 RCTs involving 1,674 patients were included. Self-management interventions significantly improved self-care ability (SMD = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.63-3.22, Conclusion: Structured self-management interventions improve self-care ability, QoL, psychological well-being, and stoma-related outcomes in bladder cancer patients with urinary ostomy. Integration into routine postoperative care is recommended, while future multicenter trials with standardized protocols and longer follow-up are needed to strengthen evidence.
