High tech and high touch: Recruitment strategies for enrolling African American stroke survivors in Community Based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after stroke (CINGS) trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSubstantial effort has been undertaken to improve the recruitment and retention of participants in stroke trials. African Americans are disproportionately under-represented in stroke clinical trials as well as clinical trials for other chronic disease conditions. To circumvent barriers to recruitment, clinical trial recruitment strategies used to recruit African Americans have focused on different aspects of community engagement. PURPOSE: This study examined a community-engaged, multi-phased tailored approach to recruiting African Americans with stroke. The recruitment approach described was designed to support the Community Based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after Stroke (CINGS) trial, part of the Wide Spectrum Investigation of Stroke Outcome Disparities on Multiple Levels (WISSDOM) Center established to explore stroke disparities.
methodsA multiple-phased recruitment approach was undertaken and involved a recruitment planning phase and a recruitment phase. The recruitment planning phase involved the use of focus groups designed to explore barriers and facilitators of stroke recovery. The active recruitment phase included multiple strategies with ongoing evaluation.
resultsInformation gained from focus groups offered insights into strategies critical to recruiting African Americans with stroke for behavioral research during the early recovery period. Strategies to enhance the identification of and recruitment of potential participants included use of: a) a hospital system stroke database, b) system-wide friendly visits/warm handoff approaches, c) electronic health record, d) associated external sites and e) protocol adjustments.
conclusionsDeveloping tailored approaches to curtail barriers to research participation is critical for increasing the probability of reaching African American study participant recruitment and retention goals. Research teams may require training in community-engagement research strategies essential for obtaining achieving target recruitment goals.
