Effectiveness of motion-graphic video for informed consent in patients undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy for androgenetic alopecia: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Frontiers in digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Audiovisual tools are increasingly used in healthcare to improve patient education and engagement. However, few studies, particularly in dermatology, have evaluated their effectiveness in enhancing patient understanding during the informed consent process. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a motion-graphic educational video with conventional verbal consent for patients undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, participants aged 18-55 years with AGA were recruited at the Dermatology Clinic, Walailak University Hospital, between December 2024 and March 2025. Participants were randomized to receive informed consent through either an educational video (Group A) or a conventional verbal explanation (Group B). Pre- and post-intervention knowledge and anxiety levels were assessed, and satisfaction was evaluated in Group A. Results: Thirty-four participants completed the study (73.5% male; median age: 39.5 years, IQR: 23.0). Median baseline knowledge and anxiety scores were 0.0 (IQR: 2.0) and 6.0 (IQR: 3.0), respectively. Post-intervention knowledge scores increased significantly in both groups (Group A: 9.0, IQR: 1.0; Group B: 7.0, IQR: 2.0; Conclusions: The motion-graphic educational video improved patient knowledge compared with conventional verbal explanations, without reducing anxiety. Participants reported high satisfaction, supporting the use of audiovisual media as an effective adjunct to the informed consent process.
