A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Pretransplant Educational Intervention in Kidney Patients.

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
Poor patient knowledge about transplantation is a significant problem following kidney transplant. A video-based educational intervention was developed to supplement standard education provided by transplant teams.
methodsA multicenter randomized controlled trial tested the intervention delivered to patients undergoing assessment or waitlisted for kidney transplant. Adult participants were randomized to the control (standard education) or the intervention group, consisting of electronic access to the videos (or digital video disks if no internet) plus standard education. Differences between groups in changes in transplant knowledge (measured by the Kidney Transplant Understanding Tool), education satisfaction, self-efficacy, and quality of life (secondary outcomes) were evaluated by a preintervention and postintervention survey. Video viewing habits were tracked and described for patients in the intervention group.
resultsOne hundred sixty-two patients were enrolled, with 132 completing both questionnaires (n = 64 intervention and n = 68 control), with similar enrollment from 3 Canadian sites. Video viewing statistics in the complete cases indicated that 78% (50/64) watched the videos, with 70% (45/64) viewing them electronically, while 8% (5/64) received digital video disks and self-reported participation. Baseline knowledge scores in the intent-to-treat population were 55.4 ± 6.5 and 55.7 ± 7.1 in the intervention and control, respectively. The mean knowledge change in the intervention (2.1 ± 3.6) was significantly higher than in the control group (0.8 ± 3.4,
conclusionsElectronic video education in the pretransplant setting improved knowledge and satisfaction.
