Long-term follow-up of clinical trial participants: Predictors of post-trial response in older subjects.
Trial report in Contemporary clinical trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02631291 (A Randomized Pilot Study of Behavioral Self-monitoring to Promote Mental Health Among Spousally Bereaved Older Adults), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe post-trial follow-up (PTFU) phase of a clinical trial can provide important information on maintenance of intervention effects. However, approaches for the PTFU are rarely described. This short communication describes our process for PTFU that involved recontacting older subjects who participated in a clinical trial between 2015 and 2019. We also describe correlates of response to our PTFU survey.
methodsThe parent clinical trial aimed to reduce depression symptoms among older spousally-bereaved adults. We attempted to recontact our sample during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using logistic regression, we examined physical health, depression symptoms, cognitive status, and disability as correlates of participant response to the PTFU phase.
resultsForty-two percent of participants responded to the PTFU survey. Disability - or the inability to participate in major life tasks and social roles - was significantly associated with response. Participants with greater disability were less likely to respond to the PTFU survey.
conclusionsOlder adults with disabilities may need alternative and supportive strategies for engaging in the PTFU phase. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT02631291.
