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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLevels of adherence to recommended protocols in an intervention trial can affect outcomes and confound the results. To broaden the evidence about the selection and utility of adherence measures in varying contexts, we describe the level of adherence to the Mycotoxin Mitigation Trial (MMT) randomized intervention using caregiver-reported survey questions and compare inferences of adherence between multi-module surveys and interactive 24 h dietary recalls based on our program theory.

methodsThe MMT was a two-arm cluster-randomized trial conducted in 52 health facilities (clusters) in central Tanzania. Surveys were conducted with all trial participants at three time points and dietary recalls were conducted in a cohort at 12 mo.

resultsThe 12 mo survey was conducted with 2112 caregivers and the 18 mo survey was conducted with 2527 caregivers. A cohort of participants (

conclusionsDetailed analysis of reported behaviors, based on the MMT program theory, supports high adherence to the recommended trial behaviors. Survey data and 24 h dietary recalls were convergent for almost all indicators, strengthening the trial's conclusions and allowing for either method to be selected for similar research.
