Impact of survey length and compensation on validity, reliability, and sample characteristics for Ultrashort-, Short-, and Long-Research Participant Perception Surveys.
Article in Journal of clinical and translational science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07722442 (Feasibility, Acceptability and Preliminary Efficacy of a Personalised Behavioural Intervention to Improve Adherence to Dietary and Lifestyle Cancer Prevention Recommendations in Adults Attending Breast and Colorectal Cancer Screening Programmes), which is not on this map. Cited by 119 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionThe validated Research Participant Perception Survey (RPPS-Long) elicits valuable data at modest response rates.
methodsTo address this limitation, we developed shorter RPPS-Ultrashort and RPPS-Short versions, fielded them with the RPPS-Long to a random sample of a national research volunteer registry, and assessed response and completion rates, test/retest reliability, and demographics.
results2228 eligible registry members received survey links. Response rates were 64% (RPPS-Ultrashort), 63% (RPPS-Short), and 51% (RPPS-Long), respectively (P<0.001). Completion rates were 63%, 54%, and 37%, respectively (p<0.001). All surveys were reliable with Cronbach's alpha = 0.81, 0.84, and 0.87, respectively. Retest reliability was highest for RPPS-Short (Kappa=0.85). Provision of compensation increased RPPS-Short completion rate from 54% to 71% (p<0.001). Compensated respondents were younger (p<0.001), with greater minority representation (p=0.03).
conclusionsShorter surveys were reliable and produced higher response and completion rates then long surveys. Compensation further increased completion rates and shifted sample age and race profiles.
