Leveraging principles of behavioural economics to encourage patient engagement with population health screening programmes.

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
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We leveraged behavioural economics principles to encourage screening for cardiovascular disease risk factors. In a pilot, 60 high-risk patients were offered a complimentary home BP monitor and a lipid test through more convenient means (local lab, home phlebotomy, or self-test), along with financial incentives. Of these, 43.3% submitted the required BP readings, compared with 30.0% in a historical control group; 30.0% completed the lipid panel, versus 18.1% historically. While these results suggest that convenience and incentives can increase participation, over half of participants still did not complete the screenings, indicating a need for additional strategies to fully engage at-risk populations.
