Video-assisted education for informed consent in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a prospective study on patient comprehension.
Trial report in World journal of urology, 2025. 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
purposeThe prevalence of urinary stone disease is increasing due to climate change, dietary habits, and obesity. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains the preferred treatment for large kidney stones. The informed consent process is essential for patient understanding; however, conventional verbal and written methods may be inadequate. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted education in improving informed consent for PCNL.
methodsThis randomized controlled study was conducted from January to July 2023. Eighty patients scheduled for PCNL were randomly assigned to either a written-consent-only group or a video-assisted consent group that received both written consent and a seven-minute 3D-animated video. Comprehension was assessed using a 17-question knowledge assessment questionnaire before and after the consent process. Improvements in knowledge and differences in comprehension were compared.
resultsThe video-assisted consent group showed significantly greater comprehension improvement than the written-only group, benefiting patients across all education levels. Multivariate analysis confirmed the strong association between video education and knowledge gain, though older age was linked to lower improvement. Despite its effectiveness, two patients withdrew due to increased anxiety, underscoring the need to balance understanding with emotional reassurance.
conclusionVideo-assisted informed consent significantly improves comprehension in PCNL patients, particularly in those with lower education levels. However, an increased awareness of surgical risks may contribute to preoperative anxiety. Future research should refine video content, assess long-term outcomes, and explore strategies to balance comprehension with emotional reassurance.
