1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationships among health literacy (HL), fatalistic tendencies, and attitudes toward organ donation. A cross-sectional correlational study design was employed. The sample consists of 1566 voluntary participants residing in four major cities in the Central Anatolian Region of Türkiye. Data were collected via an online form between August 1 and December 31, 2023, using the Organ Donation Attitude Scale, Health Literacy Scale-14, and Fatalism Tendency Scale. Mediation analysis was performed utilizing Hayes' PROCESS Macro (Model 4). Of the participants, 72.8% demonstrated knowledge about organ transplantation, and 40.4% reported having considered organ donation after death. The analyses revealed that fatalistic tendencies explained 5.4% of the variance in humanity and moral conviction and 13.31% of the variance in negative attitudes. Additionally, HL partially mediated the relationship between fatalistic tendencies and attitudes toward organ donation. These findings suggest that addressing fatalism and improving HL could positively influence perceptions of organ donation.
