Predictors of participation and attrition in a health promotion study involving psychiatric outpatients.
Article in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Participant selection biases can reduce the generalizability of research findings and lead to misestimates of intervention effectiveness. The authors examined factors associated with study participation and attrition among psychiatric outpatients recruited for the initial phase of a health promotion trial. Medical records were reviewed to obtain HIV-risk and substance abuse data, as well as psychiatric and demographic characteristics of potential participants. Of 895 eligible outpatients, 67% (n = 601) consented to participate, among whom 69% (n = 415) completed all baseline appointments. Compared with nonconsenters, consenters were more likely to be at risk for drug problems and to receive care from clinics serving more impaired patients. Study completion was associated with older age, a psychiatric diagnosis other than adjustment disorder, and a recent sexually transmitted disease diagnosis. These findings suggest that patients who could most benefit from risk reduction interventions are more likely to participate.
