Quality of Life among Iraqi Ostomy Patients and Its Associations with Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of Patients.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: The surgical creation of an ostomy can substantially affect patients' daily functioning and quality of life (QoL). However, no previous study has evaluated QoL among ostomy patients in Iraq, and the influence of demographic and clinical factors remains insufficiently explored. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 ostomy patients recruited from three oncology centers in Baghdad, Iraq. QoL was assessed using the City of Hope-Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire (CoH-QoL-OQ). Associations between demographic and clinical variables and QoL were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), adjusting for age and sex. Results: Based on the total QoL score, none of the patients had a good QoL; 92.00% had moderate QoL and 8.00% had low QoL. Patients aged ≥48 years had lower overall QoL compared with younger patients ( Conclusions: Iraqi ostomy patients experience low-to-moderate QoL. Age, marital status, ostomy type, tumor malignancy, and postsurgical treatment methods are significant determinants of QoL in this population.
