Views of leaders in under-represented and equity-denied communities on organ and tissue donation in Nova Scotia, Canada, in light of the Human Organ and Tissue Donation Act: a qualitative descriptive study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo explore the views of underserved and equity-denied communities in Nova Scotia, Canada, regarding organ and tissue donation and deemed consent legislation.
designA qualitative descriptive study was undertaken, employing both interviews and focus groups.
settingThe province of Nova Scotia, Canada-the first jurisdiction in North America to implement deemed consent legislation for organ and tissue donation.
participantsLeaders of African Nova Scotian, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Two Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) and Faith-based communities (Islam and Judaism) were invited to participate (n=11). Leaders were defined as persons responsible for community organisations or in other leadership roles, and were purposively recruited by the research team.
resultsThrough thematic analysis, four main themes were identified: (1) alignment with personal values as well as religious beliefs and perspectives; (2) trust and relationships, which need to be acknowledged and addressed in the context of deemed consent legislation; (3) cultural competence, which is essential to the roll-out of the new legislation and (4) communication and information to combat misconceptions and misinformation, facilitate informed decision-making, and mitigate conflict within families.
conclusionsLeaders of African Nova Scotian, LGBTQ2S+ and Faith-based communities in Nova Scotia are highly supportive of deemed consent legislation. Despite this, many issues exemplify the need for cultural competence at all levels. These findings should inform ongoing implementation of the legislation and other jurisdictions considering a deemed consent approach to organ and tissue donation.
