The effect of telephone-based education and counselling on stoma adjustment and complication severity in individuals with a colostomy: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of telephone-based education and counselling on stoma adjustment and complication severity in individuals with a colostomy.
methodsA randomised controlled trial was conducted with patients assigned to the telephone-based education and counselling group (education group) or the control group receiving routine stoma care. Data were collected over a three-month follow-up period using validated measures of stoma adjustment and complication severity.
resultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. At three months, the education group had significantly higher acceptance and total stoma adjustment scores and significantly lower complication severity scores than the control group. No significant between-group differences were found in anxious preoccupation, social engagement, or anger scores.
conclusionAt three months, participants receiving telephone-based education and counselling had higher stoma adjustment scores and lower complication severity scores than those receiving routine care. Integrating structured nurse-led telephone follow-up into routine practice may strengthen continuity of post-discharge care.
