Preliminary Evaluation of 2 Patient-Centered Educational Animations About Kidney Transplant Complications.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND Fear of kidney transplant complications and incomplete information can lower transplant acceptance and preparedness. Our group developed 2 patient-centered educational animated videos on common kidney transplant complications to complement a previously developed video-based curriculum intended to promote kidney transplant access. MATERIAL AND METHODS We preliminarily evaluated the 2 animated educational videos at a single center using mixed methods. We conducted a before-and-after single group study with 22 patients after kidney transplantation to measure the videos' acceptability and feasibility to improve patient knowledge, understanding, and concerns of kidney transplant complications. Concurrently, we individually interviewed 12 patients before kidney transplantation about their perceptions of the 2 videos and analyzed the data thematically. RESULTS Knowledge of kidney transplant complications increased 10% (7.82 to 8.59, P=0.002) from before to after video viewing. Large effect size increases for knowledge were found for different strata of age, race, and health literacy. The mean total score for perceived understanding of kidney transplant complications increased after video exposure by 7% (mean 2.48 to 2.66, P=0.184). There was no change in kidney transplant concern scores from before to after video viewing (mean 1.70 to 1.70, P=1.00). After video viewing, all patients reported positive ratings on comfort watching, understanding, and engaging. Three themes of patient perceptions emerged: (1) messages received as intended, (2) felt informed, and (3) scared but not deterred. CONCLUSIONS Two animated educational videos about kidney transplant complications were well received and promise to positively impact individuals' knowledge and understanding, without raising excessive concerns.
