Effects of a Video on Organ Donation Consent Among Primary Care Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of general internal medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01697137 (Patient and Physician Intervention to Increase Organ Donation in Primary Care Settings), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundLow organ donation rates remain a major barrier to organ transplantation.
objectiveWe aimed to determine the effect of a video and patient cueing on organ donation consent among patients meeting with their primary care provider.
designThis was a randomized controlled trial between February 2013 and May 2014.
settingThe waiting rooms of 18 primary care clinics of a medical system in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. PATIENTS: The study included 915 patients over 15.5 years of age who had not previously consented to organ donation.
interventionsJust prior to their clinical encounter, intervention patients (n = 456) watched a 5-minute organ donation video on iPads and then choose a question regarding organ donation to ask their provider. Control patients (n = 459) visited their provider per usual routine. MAIN MEASURES: The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who consented for organ donation. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of patients who discussed organ donation with their provider and the proportion who were satisfied with the time spent with their provider during the clinical encounter. KEY
resultsIntervention patients were more likely than control patients to consent to donate organs (22 % vs. 15 %, OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.10-2.13). Intervention patients were also more likely to have donation discussions with their provider (77 % vs. 18 %, OR 15.1, 95%CI 11.1-20.6). Intervention and control patients were similarly satisfied with the time they spent with their provider (83 % vs. 86 %, OR 0.87, 95%CI 0.61-1.25). LIMITATION: How the observed increases in organ donation consent might translate into a greater organ supply is unclear.
conclusionWatching a brief video regarding organ donation and being cued to ask a primary care provider a question about donation resulted in more organ donation discussions and an increase in organ donation consent. Satisfaction with the time spent during the clinical encounter was not affected.
