A narrative review on the psychosocial domains of the impact of organ transplantation.
Review in Discover mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This review explores organ transplantation, spanning historical developments, psychosocial impacts, and future directions. In the pre-transplantation phase, evaluations of psychosocial factors, including substance use, mental health, and social support, are essential for successful outcomes. However, linking total psychosocial risk scores to post-transplant outcomes remains challenging despite available tools and assessments. Patient selection criteria and psychological assessments are pivotal in achieving successful transplantation outcomes. The age of donors significantly impacts transplant outcomes across various organs, highlighting the urgency of addressing organ shortages. Meticulous patient selection, including thorough psychosocial evaluations, ensures recipients possess the necessary emotional resilience and support systems for successful transplantation. Both pre- and post-transplantation psychological evaluation processes are crucial for assessing and supporting individuals throughout the transplant journey. Posttransplant evaluations continue to monitor adjustment difficulties, medication adherence, and complex emotions, enabling timely intervention and personalized support. The waiting period before transplantation presents significant challenges, including uncertainty, anxiety, and social isolation. Robust emotional support and coping mechanisms are crucial during this transitional phase, fostering resilience and hope among waitlist candidates. Psychological challenges during and after transplantation, including anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, are common among recipients. Coping mechanisms, such as religious/spiritual approaches, social support, and participation in support groups, play pivotal roles in patient adjustment and recovery. Ethical considerations are paramount in ensuring fair and effective transplantation practices, including organ allocation, adherence to post-transplant care, financial burdens, and the interplay between medical and psychosocial factors.
