Using REDCap for ambulatory assessment: Implementation in a clinical trial for smoking cessation to augment in-person data collection.
Trial report in The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02737358 (Evaluating N-acetylcysteine as a Pharmacotherapy for Tobacco Use Disorder), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe use of ambulatory assessment to study behavior and physiology in daily life is becoming more common, yet barriers to implementation remain. Limitations in budget, time, and expertise may inhibit development or purchase of dedicated ambulatory assessment software. Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is widely used worldwide, offering a cost-effective and accessible option for implementing research studies.
objectivesTo present a step-by-step guideline on how to implement ambulatory assessment using REDCap and provide preliminary evidence of feasibility.
methodsFeasibility and acceptability data are presented for randomized participants (N ranged from 19 to 36, depending on analysis) from an ongoing 8-week smoking cessation pharmacological clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02737358). Participants (N = 36; 50% female) completed up to three ambulatory assessment surveys per day, depending on the phase of the study. These included self-report and video confirmation of smoking biomarkers and medication adherence.
resultsParticipants completed 74.8% of morning reports (86.6% for study completers), 73.8% of videos confirming smoking biomarkers, and 70.4% of videos confirming medication adherence. Study completers reported that the REDCap assessments were easy to use, and 78.9% of participants preferred the REDCap assessments to traditional, paper measures.
conclusionsThese data from a pharmacological trial suggest feasibility of remote data collection using REDCap. As REDCap functionality is continually evolving, it is likely that options for collecting ambulatory assessment data via this platform will progressively improve allowing for greater individualization of assessment scheduling for enhancing data collection in clinical trials.
