Does physician continuity within a clinical trial increase retention and compliance among adolescent smokers?
Article in Adolescent psychiatry (Hilversum, Netherlands), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRetention and compliance are hurdles in many clinical trials designed for adolescents. Factors that may improve these issues in a challenging population may lead to increased data and power in much needed adolescent substance abuse research.
methodsWithin a large-scale smoking cessation study for adolescents, physician continuity (PC) was examined to determine its effect on retention, compliance, and cessation.
resultsIn an analysis of 98 participants, participants with physician continuity throughout the study were more likely to attend more treatment visits and be medication compliant. It was also found that PC had no effect on participant smoking cessation.
conclusionsIt appears that PC may be one way to increase retention and compliance within an adolescent clinical trial, without interfering with the specific aim of the research study (in this case, smoking cessation).
