Video-enhanced informed consent improves patient comprehension in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in JSES international, 2026. 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: Informed consent for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) requires thorough patient understanding, yet only 29% of patients adequately comprehend pre-operative information. This study evaluated whether pre-operative educational videos enhance patient comprehension compared to standard verbal explanations alone and assessed impact on consultation time and demographic variations. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial included 60 patients undergoing rTSA, assigned 1:1 to video education or control groups. The video group viewed a 2-minute explanatory video before informed consent discussion; the control group received only verbal discussion. Afterward, all participants completed a 7-question test on procedural knowledge, benefits, and risks. Results: The video education group achieved significantly higher scores (5.70/7) compared to controls (4.67/7) ( Conclusion: An explanatory video before informed consent discussion significantly improved procedural comprehension compared to standard discussion alone. Vulnerable subgroups, older participants, non-native speakers, and those with lower educational attainment showed particular benefit. These findings support integrating video education into standard pre-operative rTSA protocols.
