Factors associated with phlebotomy failure in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center cohort.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionVenous blood collection through phlebotomy is critical for biomarker development and genetics research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. In this research setting, phlebotomy is often performed by clinical research coordinators (CRCs) rather than professional nurses or phlebotomists. Even though phlebotomy in older adults with cognitive impairment can be empirically challenging, data on the factors associated with phlebotomy failure in this special population are lacking. We addressed this question in the Massachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (MADRC) Longitudinal Cohort.
methodsWe applied mixed-effects logistic regression with phlebotomy failure as the dependent variable; age at visit, sex, education, body mass index (BMI), under-represented minority (URM) status, and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale global score as fixed effects; and participant ID as a random effect to account for multiple visits per participant.
resultsFull data were available for a total of 1365 visits from 659 individual participants (average 2.1 visits/participant, range 1-7). Greater BMI (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.10 [1.05-1.16], DISCUSSION: Greater BMI and CDR as well as URM status are independently associated with higher odds of phlebotomy failure. Potential strategies to maximize participation of these subpopulations in biomarker and genetics research are discussed.
