1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 aim of the present study was to update, refine, and evaluate a study brochure to promote participation in a population-based study of BRCA mutations among AA women with a personal history of early-onset breast cancer. A multi-step approach was used to develop this brochure and included: (1) feedback from community members (through a Community Advisory Panel (CAP)) to develop and refine the study brochure, (2) pilot testing of materials with the target audience, and (3) review of pilot testing results with the CAP. Based on the feedback received at each step, the study brochure was refined. In phase 1, the major changes included emphasizing the concept of leaving a legacy and family, using the terms Black and women of color, and use of patient vignettes and photos. In phase 2, attraction and cultural acceptability were identified as two areas for improvement in the study brochure. These results demonstrate that involvement of community members and target study population in the development of a study-specific brochure can provide invaluable feedback to optimize recruitment strategies. This approach can be readily adapted to develop study recruitment materials for individuals from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
