New trends on health related quality of life assessment in end-stage renal disease patients.
Review in International urology and nephrology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is a useful measure in the analysis of the output of medical interventions in groups of chronic patients like end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. From the 1980s to the present day, the interest in evaluating the HRQOL of ESRD patients has been continually growing. A review of published studies shows the existence of important differences in the applied conceptual model of HRQOL, in the assessment instruments used, in the methods of data collection recording, and in the results and conclusions. In this paper we tried to answer some of the main questions which could appear when nephrologists begin to use the HRQOL measures with renal patients: we clearly define the concept of HRQOL; we made recommendations about the instruments to evaluate HRQOL (generic vs specific instruments); and we show how to refine a HRQOL score to make it practical and comprehensible (the standardization of the scores by age and gender).
