Computer-Assisted Mobile Phone Interviews in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Through a Total Survey Error Framework.
Review in Public opinion quarterly, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Researchers increasingly use computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) via mobile phones in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). A nascent methodological literature explores representation and measurement error in these surveys, but knowledge is disparate, siloed across disciplines, countries, and research designs. Using the total survey error framework, this research synthesis summarizes findings from peer-reviewed methodological research on CATI in LMIC. We used a scoping review methodology to identify and review 38 peer-reviewed journal articles to answer two research questions: (1) Which study designs, topic areas, and total survey error components have been examined in CATI mobile phone surveys conducted in LMIC? and (2) What does the research say about representation and measurement errors in CATI mobile phone surveys in LMIC? Based on these findings, this research synthesis highlights when, where, and how CATI surveys can be used across LMIC.
