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

purposeTo identify barriers and facilitators for survey completion in the VOICES of Black Women (VOICES) study and to determine which communication methods encouraged survey completion.

methodsIn 2023, the American Cancer Society piloted VOICES, an online study to better understand cancer and other health conditions among Black women. Approximately 2/3 of the 243 women who registered and consented did not complete the baseline survey (n = 140). In 2024, we sequentially employed four methods of communication to contact non-responders: email, mailed postcard, text message, and phone. At each touchpoint, we requested participants answer three questions about why they had not completed the survey.

resultsThirty women (22%) completed the non-responder survey. Time was the most common issue for non-completion (n = 18). Some participants indicated that adjustments to communication, survey design, and survey navigation could facilitate completion. Emailing produced the highest number of responses to the non-responder survey (15/138; 11%) and subsequent baseline survey completion (5/15, 33%).

conclusionDespite a lack of time among other barriers, VOICES non-responders were willing to complete the baseline survey and provide feedback on the survey process.
