Awareness and attitudes towards organ donation among Egyptian physicians: A single-centre study from a tertiary academic hospital.
Article in World journal of transplantation, 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
backgroundIn Egypt, living donor liver transplantation is currently the only option for patients with end-stage liver disease. Although efforts to establish a national deceased organ transplantation programme are currently ongoing, implementation of the organ transplantation law faces challenges in terms of executive regulations and cultural barriers. Continuous medical education is must for promoting organ donation successfully.
aimTo evaluate awareness of and attitudes towards organ donation programmes among Egyptian physicians.
methodsThis online cross-sectional survey was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals for more than 1 month (August 2024). A questionnaire covering demographics, knowledge, and attitudes towards organ donation was distributed through an online platform.
resultsA total of 391 physicians participated (42.9% MD holders, 35.9% master's degree holders, and 21.2% residents). Most participants (79.6%) represented medical specialties. Satisfactory general knowledge of organ transplantation was reported by only 20% of the participants, whereas 50% were aware of the Egyptian organ transplantation law. With respect to attitudes, 42% accepted being a living donor, and 38% would donate to a relative. With respect to deceased donations, 40% agreed to be donors, whereas 28% remained undecided.
conclusionDespite limited specific knowledge of organ donation and transplantation laws, Egyptian physicians demonstrate a generally positive attitude towards becoming organ donors. Continuous medical education is essential to promote organ donation successfully.
