Brain health awareness among solid organ transplant candidates and recipients: a single centre survey.
Article in BMC neurology, 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 AND
objectivesSolid organ transplant candidates and recipients are a highly vulnerable population for brain disorders variably alongside their transplant history. This population would greatly benefit from brain health programs. In order to set up brain health multidimensional plans targeting patients affected with peripheral organ disease, including solid organ transplant candidates and recipients, we explored their view on brain health.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional survey study with descriptive quantitative analyses to review the answers received through a pencil and paper survey conducted in a single surgical center.
resultsA little over half of our respondents, above all women, reported always or often thinking about their brain health. Just over half of our patients exercise regularly and perform cognitively stimulating activities, with this figure being even lower for older patients and men. There is low public awareness and health literacy on neurology and brain diseases. We have found full recognition that peripheral organ functioning, above all heart, may have an impact on brain health. Lack of time, lack of information on what to do, and lack of motivation emerged as main barriers to enforcing lifestyle changes. Most of our respondents were willing to undergo a cognitive screening test and receive educational information on brain health.
conclusionsOur survey provided insights on brain health topic previously unexplored among patients affected by non-neurological disorders. The gathered results will be used to implement multidomain interventional brain health plans for transplant candidates and recipients.
