Survey Response Rate and Quality in a Mental Health Clinic Population: Results from a Randomized Survey Comparison.
Trial report in The journal of behavioral health services & research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Given the limited ability of informatics-based assessment technologies to reach individuals with serious mental health conditions, this study evaluated the feasibility and data quality of mail-out healthcare surveys in this population to assist in measure selection for a multi-site controlled implementation trial. Veterans were randomly selected from those who had received services at a mental health clinic in the Department of Veterans Affairs, and were randomly assigned to one of three questionnaire lengths. Survey length (48-127 items) was not associated with differences in response rate, percent of items missing, or data quality. However, internal consistency reliability was variable among scales and survey lengths. Additional analyses indicate the above measures of survey data quality may differ among respondents who are non-white and younger and have psychotic disorders. These results can inform survey protocols to ensure maximal representation of this vulnerable population in health planning and policy assessment.
