Promoting mammography adherence in underserved women: the telephone coaching adherence study.
Trial report in Contemporary clinical trials, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundDespite interventions to promote regular mammography, underserved women face barriers to mammography. This is evident in high no-show appointment rates in community-based clinics. Understanding why women fail to follow-through with appointments may help improve adherence.
objectivesWe conducted a focus group with women who were non-adherent to mammograms to evaluate psychosocial and structural barriers and design intervention messages. In phase two we conducted a small randomized controlled trial (RCT) to pilot test a brief telephone coaching adherence intervention (vs. control) to address barriers.
methodEligible women were non-adherent to their mammography screening appointment at a community-based setting. Psychosocial factors and perceptions of barriers were measured via a baseline survey and used to tailor the telephone coaching session. In the RCT, the primary outcome was whether women rescheduled and kept their appointment (yes vs. no). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results.
resultsFifty-four women participated in the study (17 in phase 1 and 31 in phase 2); 89% were Black and 11% were Latina. Overall, prior to the intervention, women had low perceptions of risk (m=4.2; SD=2.4) and cancer worry (m=4.2; SD=2.6) and these characteristics informed the telephone coaching. After the intervention, most women (94.5%) rescheduled their missed appointment. More women in the intervention group kept their appointment (54%) than those in the usual care group (46%).
conclusionIt appears feasible to implement a RCT in non-adherent underserved women. Addressing psychosocial and structural barriers in a brief telephone intervention may reduce non-adherence. Future studies that will test the efficacy of this approach are warranted.
