Outcomes from the Body & Soul Clinical Trials Project: a university-church partnership to improve African American enrollment in a clinical trial registry.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectivesHistorically, African Americans have been underrepresented in clinical trials (CTs) compared to whites. A growing number of research institutions have created CT registries to match volunteers with appropriate studies. In a sample of 745 African Americans from 16 churches, we tested the impact of a culturally tailored intervention aimed at increasing enrollment in a university-based CT registry.
methodsHalf of the churches received a culturally tailored CT education program (intervention) and half of the churches received a program about healthy eating (comparison). The main outcomes were the odds of post-test self-reported enrollment and verified enrollment. Using linear regression, post-test willingness to participate in a CT was also assessed.
resultsOdds of verified enrollment were higher in the intervention than comparison group (OR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.33-6.5, p=0.01). Post-test self-reported enrollment in the registry was also higher among the intervention group than comparison group members (OR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.08-3.47, p=0.03). Willingness to participate in a future CT was higher in the intervention group (β=0.74, p=0.02).
conclusionsA culturally tailored education program about CTs can increase enrollment of African Americans in a university-based clinical trials registry. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Community engagement and health education workshops may improve minority CT enrollment over time.
