Strategies and interventions to promote organ donation and transplantation among university students: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOrgan donation and transplantation (ODT) represent essential strategies to address end-stage organ failure. However, global donation rates remain insufficient, and information gaps persist among young populations.
objectiveTo identify the current strategies and interventions implemented in different countries to promote organ donation and transplantation among university students.
methodsThis systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and was conducted using Scopus, Clarivate Web of Science, and PubMed up to November 2025. Eligible outcomes included willingness to donate, attitudes, knowledge, family communication, and perceptions of the intervention. A total of 330 records were identified, and 16 studies met the inclusion criteria.
resultsTen intervention types were identified, including educational programs, single lectures, social media campaigns, peer-to-peer initiatives, peer learning, celebrity endorsers, humorous communication, informational materials, and non-monetary merit point systems. Most studies reported increases in knowledge (8/16), willingness to donate (9/16), and positive attitudes (6/16).
conclusionsA variety of educational and communicative strategies can improve university students’ knowledge, attitudes, and willingness toward ODT. However, the limited use of emerging technologies highlights the need for more rigorous, innovative, and long-term evaluations to strengthen ODT promotion among diverse university populations.
