A Preliminary Study of Clinical Trial Enrollment Decisions Among People With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Their Study Partners.
Article in The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
objectiveAll Alzheimer disease (AD) clinical trials, including those enrolling patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), require dyadic participation. The purpose of this study was to elucidate how people with MCI and their study partners decide whether to enroll in clinical trials.
methodsThis was a mixed methods interview study. We interviewed patient participants with a consensus research diagnosis of MCI and their study partners. Interviews examined how dyads decide whether to enroll in a clinical trial and whether AD biomarker testing affects willingness to enroll.
resultsThough most MCI patients and study partners would decide in partnership whether to enroll in a clinical trial, agreement was lower among nonspousal, compared with spousal, dyads. Deterrents to enrollment included concerns about patient safety and inconvenience, especially for study partners. Motivators to enrollment included altruism, the desire to contribute to research, hope for patient benefit, and the desire to learn more about the patient's condition. When asked open-ended questions about motivators to enroll in trials, few patients cited access to biomarker testing specifically, though most expressed a desire to undergo biomarker testing when asked directly.
conclusionSpousal and nonspousal MCI dyads may approach clinical trial decisions differently. Future research should investigate how AD biomarker testing affects participants' willingness to enroll in trials.
