Comparing web-based video interventions to enhance university student willingness to donate organs: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Clinical transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe efficacy of video interventions to increase organ donation willingness remains unclear.
methodsThree-arm web-based randomized controlled trial involving 2261 students at 3 northeastern Ohio universities. Intervention students watched a live-action (n = 755) or animated (n = 753) donation video. Control students (n = 753) viewed wellness information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The primary outcome was proportion of students who visited their state electronic donor registry to consent. The secondary outcome was intervention quality. Logistic regression assessed the effects of interventions on visiting the state registry to provide donation consent while controlling for baseline variables.
resultsStudents in the live-action video arm visited their state registry more frequently than students in the CDC arm (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.20-2.88). There was no difference between students in the animated video and CDC arms (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.69-1.76). The quality of the live-action video was rated lower than the animated video and the CDC text (75% ± 18, 84% ± 16, 80% ± 16, respectively; P < 0.001).
conclusionStudents who watched the live-action video were more willing to visit their electronic donor registry to register as organ donors, but rated it lower in satisfaction. Future work should identify the most potent components of organ donation interventions.
