1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Recruiting participants with chronic medical conditions is time-consuming and expensive. Electronic medical record databases and patient portals may enable outreach to larger numbers of patients in comparison to face-to-face methods. We aimed to describe the yields, benefits, and limitations of recruitment strategies used for a randomized clinical trial of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia among patients with chronic stable heart failure (NCT02660385). We used multiple recruitment strategies including clinic-based recruitment, letters to patients identified from electronic databases, the patient portal, brochures and posters placed in clinics, presentations to heart failure support groups, and online advertising. We screened 10,291 medical records, enrolled 231 participants, and 195 participants completed baseline data collection. We enrolled 92 (23%) participants using clinic-based recruitment, 24 and 29 (6% and 10%) using letters to patients from two electronic databases, and 42 (55%) via the patient portal. Multiple recruitment strategies and flexibility are needed to achieve recruitment goals.
