Strategies for recruiting African American men into prostate cancer screening studies.
Article in Nursing research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 2 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
backgroundRecruitment for research and clinical trials continues to be challenging. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and disproportionately affects African American men; thus, effective recruitment strategies are essential for this population.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to focus on innovative and effective recruitment strategies for research on prostate cancer with minorities.
methodsA systematic description is provided of the recruitment efforts for a hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative study of African American men's experiences in decision making on whether to have a prostate cancer screening.
resultsSeventeen African American men were enrolled from rural Central Virginia. Recruiting strategies were targeted on places where African American men usually are found but that are rarely used for recruitment: barbershops, community health centers, and churches. Word of mouth was also used, and most of the participants (n = 11) were reached through this method. DISCUSSION: Recruitment efforts have been noted to be particularly challenging among minorities, for numerous reasons. Making minority recruitment a priority in any research or clinical trial is essential in gaining a representative sample. Word of mouth is a powerful tool that is often forgotten but should be looked at in further detail.
