The willingness and attitudes of medical students regarding organ donation and transplantation: a cross-sectional study from Turkey.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivePositive attitudes and motivation on the part of medical students concerning organ donation and transplantation are very important in terms of the growing need for these. This study aimed to evaluate the willingness and attitudes of medical students toward organ donation and transplantation.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed at a state university in Turkey in February-March 2020. The questionnaire investigated sociodemographic characteristics and willingness toward organ donation and transplantation and contained the Organ Donation Attitude Scale.
resultsA total of 309 medical students participated, of which 71.2% were willing to donate their organs. Medical students' willingness to donate organs increased depending on gender, academic year, receipt of education on the subject, discussing donation with family and friends, possession of an organ donation card, knowledge of the organ donation system, and willingness to receive organ donation if necessary. Positive attitudes toward organ donation increased after discussing the subject with family and friends, possessing an organ donation card, and knowing the path to be followed for organ donation.
conclusionMedical students exhibited high willingness and positive attitudes regarding organ donation and transplantation. However, education on the subject of organ donation and transplantation is needed.
