Using Focus Groups to Understand Dialysis Staff Perspectives on Delivering Transplant Education.
Article in Progress in transplantation (Aliso Viejo, Calif.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
introductionKidney transplant education in dialysis facilities could be optimized with internet resources, like videos, but most qualitative research predates widespread availability of online video education about kidney transplantation. To improve understanding of dialysis staff transplant education practices, as well as the potential value of video, we conducted focus groups of dialysis center staff members in Buffalo, NY. METHODS/APPROACH: Seventeen focus groups (97 participants: 53 nurses, 10 dialysis technicians, 6 social workers, 6 dieticians, 7 administrative personnel, 2 trainees, and 1 insurance coordinator) from 8 dialysis facilities in Buffalo, NY, were conducted, audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. After thematic data analysis, a diverse patient and caregiver community advisory board was invited to comment, and their voices were integrated. Findings: Five key themes were identified that captured barriers to transplant education delivery and how online video could be a facilitator: (1) delivery of transplant education was reliant on one person, (2) other dialysis staff had time to answer transplant questions but felt uninformed, (3) patient lack of interest in existing supplementary transplant education, (4) patient disinterest in transplantation education was due to education timing, feeling overwhelmed, and transplant fear/ambivalence, and (5) video education could be flexible, low effort, and spark transplant interest. Study limitations are potential selection bias and inclusion of English-speaking participants only. DISCUSSION: Dialysis staff barriers of time, insufficient knowledge, and limited resources to provide education to patients and their care partners may be mitigated with online educational videos without increasing staff workload.
