Participant recruitment into a community-based diabetes prevention trial in India: Learnings from the Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundData on participant recruitment into diabetes prevention trials are limited in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to provide a detailed analysis of participant recruitment into a community-based diabetes prevention trial in India.
methodsThe Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program was conducted in 60 polling areas (electoral divisions) of the Neyyatinkara taluk (subdistrict) in Trivandrum district, Kerala state. Individuals (age 30-60 years) were screened with the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) at their homes followed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at community-based clinics. Individuals at high-risk of developing diabetes (IDRS score ≥60 and without diabetes on the OGTT) were recruited.
resultsA total of 1007 participants (47.2% women) were recruited over nine months. Pilot testing, personal contact and telephone reminders from community volunteers, and gender matching of staff were effective recruitment strategies. The major recruitment challenges were: (1) during home visits, one-third of potential participants could not be contacted, as they were away for work; and (2) men participated less frequently in the OGTT screening than women (75.2% vs. 84.2%). For non-participation, lack of time (42.0%) was most commonly cited followed by '
conclusionsThis study provides valuable information for future researchers planning to implement community-based diabetes prevention trials in India or other LMICs.
