Effect of timed incentives on subject participation in a study of long-term breast cancer survivors: are there ethnic differences?
Trial report in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The recruitment and retention of African Americans into cancer control studies presents a formidable task to the scientific and policy communities as well as patient and advocacy communities. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the role of a timed incentive schedule on response rates in a study of African American and white breast cancer survivors. A mailed quality-of-life survey battery was sent to 583 breast cancer survivors (50% African American, 50% white). Half of the participants received payment in advance, whereas the other half was promised payment. The overall response rate was 54% (n = 278). The timing of incentives did not affect participation rates in either ethnic group. About 51% of the respondents were from the payment-in-advance condition and 49% were from the paid-on-completion condition. Therefore, we conclude that payment on completion may be the more cost-effective approach in studies with higher socioeconomic status patients, such as this sample of breast cancer survivors.
