Decision-making, regret, and quality of life in living organ donors: a cross-sectional study.

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
The aim of this study is to identify factors influencing living donors' decision-making, regret, and quality of life. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted between June and October 2023 and included 128 living liver or other organ donors who were at least three months post-surgery. Data were collected using a questionnaire, the Decision Regret Scale, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form. The mean age of the participants was 49.48 ± 11.43, 75% of them decided to donate on their own, the mean score on the Decision Regret Scale was 22.5 ± 16.25, and the mean score for general quality of life perception was 63.59 ± 14.2. It was determined that there was a moderate negative correlation between the mean scores of the Decision Regret Scale and the mean scores of the physical, social, and psychological quality of life subdomains. The findings indicated that psychological quality of life and the length of the donation decision-making period were the primary determinants of regret levels (p < 0.05). The psychological well-being of living organ donors and the duration of the decision-making process can influence post-donation regret, which in turn has a direct impact on donors' quality of life.
