Assessing consent for and response to health survey components in an era of falling response rates: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2018.
Article in Survey research methods, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Response rates for national population-based surveys have declined, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Declining response to the initial NHANES interview may impact consent and participation in downstream survey components such as record linkage, physical exams, storage of biological samples and phlebotomy. Interview response rates dropped from 68% in 2011-2012 to 53% in 2017-2018 for adults age 18 and older. Response was higher for children (1-17 years) but with a similar downward trend (2011-2012, 81%; 2017-2018, 65%). Despite declining interview response rates, changes in consent and response rates for downstream components over time have been mixed. Among those interviewed, the examination response rate was over 93%, consent for record linkage was over 90%, and consent for storage of specimens for future research was over 99%. The availability of a blood sample for storage ranged between 60%-65% for children and 78%-85% for adults.
