1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

IntroductionOrgan donation and transplantation remain underutilized in Trinidad and Tobago despite the rising burden of chronic kidney and end-stage renal disease. Limited public understanding, low awareness of existing legislation, and persistent sociocultural and religious concerns contribute to low donation rates. This study examines knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers toward organ donation within the country's sociocultural and legislative context.Research QuestionsWhat demographic, psychosocial, and systemic factors influence willingness to donate organs, and how do knowledge, attitudes, cultural beliefs, and family discussions shape support for organ donation?DesignA national cross-sectional household survey was conducted using stratified cluster sampling across 1047 households. A modified version of the 2012 U.S. National Survey of Organ Donation assessed public awareness, willingness to donate, and influencing factors. Analyses included 1-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation to evaluate relationships between demographic variables, knowledge, and willingness to donate.ResultsAmong 1047 respondents, 80.4% reported no knowledge of the Human Tissue Transplant Act. Higher education was positively associated with willingness to donate (
