Research site mentoring: A novel approach to improving study recruitment.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsThe VA Cooperative Studies Program's (CSP) Network of Dedicated Enrollment Sites (NODES) is a consortium of nine VA medical centers (VAMCs) with teams (nodes) dedicated to enhance performance, compliance, and management of CSP multi-site clinical trials. The West Haven CSP Coordinating Center (WH-CSPCC), study coordinating center for CSP #577,
resultsSites in the mentorship pilot had an average improvement of 5 ± 4 participants randomized per month (min -2.6; max 11.6; SD 4.3). Four of ten sites (40%) demonstrated continuous improvement in the average number of randomized participants per month after the pilot intervention and at three-month follow-up (post-intervention), as compared to the five-month period preceding the intervention. An additional two sites (20%) demonstrated improvement in the average number of randomized participants per month after the pilot intervention, and sustained that level of improvement at three-month follow-up (post-intervention). Additionally, six of ten sites (60%) demonstrated an increased number of participants screened for eligibility immediately following the intervention and at three-month follow-up (post-intervention). Only one site showed a decreased monthly average of randomized participants shortly after the intervention and through the three-month follow-up period.
conclusionsThe site mentoring model was successful in improving recruitment at low enrolling CONFIRM sites. An additional feasibility assessment is needed to determine if this mentoring model will be effective with other CSP trials.
