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

backgroundLow participant accrual is a persistent concern in physiological disease intervention trials, inflating costs and jeopardizing the timeliness and validity of findings. Investigators are increasingly adopting decentralized methods to facilitate participation.

objectiveTo add to the recruitment evidence base by describing the performance of direct and remote recruitment strategies in a decentralized randomized controlled trial of a digital intervention to improve heart failure self-care behaviors.

methodsWe conducted a descriptive analysis of referral, enrollment, and retention rates; cost; and sociodemographic diversity of participants across six recruitment streams. Data were collected from Sept 30, 2022 to June 30, 2025.

resultsDecentralized recruitment channels generated 97.5% of enrollments and achieved varying success with respect to sample representativeness. Enrollment rates progressed in accordance with proposed timelines. Retention at 6 months was 82.6%.

conclusionsDecentralized recruitment strategies are feasible, cost effective, and conducive to achieving enrollment targets.
