Determinants of next-of-kin consent in corneal donation: A retrospective study from eastern India.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo identify the primary consent provider across different donor age groups and assess whether consent decisions are influenced by donors' gender and cause of death.
methodsDonor records were retrieved from the Drushti Daan Eye Bank at L V Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, India. All corneal donations between January 2022 and April 2024 were analyzed. Data included demographic and circumstantial variables such as the next-of-kin (NoK) identity, donor age, gender, cause of death, and type of donation.
resultsA total of 2,187 donor records were analyzed. Male NoKs had consented more than females (P < 0.0001). Fathers were the primary consent providers for donors aged 1-20 years (51.4%), brothers for 21-40 years (46.2%), and sons for 41-60 years (36.5%) and >60 years (65.3%). For male donors, brothers were the most common NoKs (35.7%), while sons were the most common for female donors (27.5%). In unnatural deaths, children and grandchildren were the leading NoKs (43.3%), while siblings provided consent in natural deaths (35.5%). Children/grandchildren provided the most voluntary consent (72.9%), while siblings were predominant among motivated donors (32.6%).
conclusionDemographic and circumstantial factors significantly influence NoK consent. Targeted awareness efforts and further research are essential to improve consent rates for eye donation.
