Impact of video -based incentive on patient willingness to read the informed consent form with comprehension before minimally-invasive surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

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
introductionThe purpose of the informed consent (IC) form is to enable patients to make a conscious choice based on complete and comprehensible information about a planned surgical procedure, its risks, benefits, and alternative treatment methods. Obtaining information about other therapeutic options is particularly important in the case of laparoscopic surgeries which are becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, as the literature indicates, most patients do not read the IC form.
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of video material on encouraging patients to thoroughly read the IC form. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis parallel design study comprised 102 patients referred for elective laparoscopic surgical procedures. The participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The block randomization consisted of alternating, weekly assignment of patients to the intervention (video) group and the control group. Anxiety levels were evaluated using a translated version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS).
resultsThe patients in the video group were more likely to read the entire IC form (83.67%) than those in the control group (33.96%; P = 0.003). However, according to the APAIS scale, reading the IC form had no impact on the level of anxiety (P = 0.72) and information demand (P = 0.9). The most frequently given reason for not reading the IC form was its excessive length (32.61% of the responses).
conclusionsVideo materials demonstrate a remarkable potential in enhancing the awareness of the IC process importance and should be increasingly implemented into everyday medical practice.
