This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at how medical students evaluate heart transplant hospitals when given different types of outcome data. 105 students from the University of Pittsburgh were shown survival statistics that either did or did not highlight how often a hospital rejects donor hearts. The goal was to see if this information changes which hospital they think is better. The findings could help make transplant center performance data clearer for patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help design better ways to present transplant center performance data to patients and the public.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed behavioral study with medical students, not patients. Results may not reflect real-world decision-making by actual transplant candidates.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
