1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCurrently, the Nepalese law permits organ donation by an individual who falls into the category of a "close relative" of the recipient. There is a need for expansion of the live organ donor pool beside close relatives. Different systems of organ transplantation are followed by several countries and the professional opinions that underpin these systems need to be studied.

objectiveTo generate a questionnaire related to different organ transplant systems and validate it so that it can be used to collect mass professional opinions.

methodsItem generation, item reduction, item scaling, and pretesting were used to develop a questionnaire. The final version of the questionnaire was reviewed by experts for its content validity and then was used twice for participants at a 20-day interval to calculate Cronbach's alpha for testing its internal consistency and Intra-class correlation for testing its test and retest reliability.

resultsThe questionnaire was found to be valid and reliable with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.701. Intra-class correlation scores for each question in both test and retest were correlated.

conclusionA valid and reliable questionnaire was developed that can be used to collect mass professional opinions to assist policy makers to establish a better organ transplant system.
