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

Background and Aims: Organ donation is a vital component of modern healthcare, yet its acceptance varies across populations. Understanding perceptions among future generations and educators is crucial for effective awareness initiatives. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and willingness regarding organ donation among high school students and teachers in the West Bank, Palestine. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 508 participants (370 high school students and 138 teachers) between March and May 2025. Data were collected via a structured online questionnaire following ethical approval. Electronic informed consent was obtained, and anonymity was maintained. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, independent-samples Results: Participants reported moderate mean scores for attitudes (24.16 ± 7.995) and knowledge (6.87 ± 1.598). Students had significantly higher mean knowledge scores than teachers (7.01 vs. 6.51; Conclusion: This study reveals a significant gap between knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to donate organs. Culturally tailored educational programs, religious engagement, and enhanced trust in the healthcare system are essential to promote organ donation in Palestine.
