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

In this study health-related quality of life (HRQL) in long-term survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) was evaluated and the findings were analyzed using a conceptual model developed by Wilson and Cleary. A better understanding of the relationships between the variables explaining HRQL may improve care and rehabilitation of HL patients. The populations were long-term survivors of HL (n = 121) and a control group (n = 236). Participants were approached with one semi-structured interview, an extended version of the Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life - Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW) and three standardized questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale, Short Form 12 health survey questionnaire (SF-12) and Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale. No differences regarding the mean scores were found between the HL survivors and the controls except for the SF-12, where the patients considered themselves to be in poorer physical health than the controls (p < 0.01). Even though physical health was diminished, patients did not evaluate overall QoL worse compared to the controls. The major determinants of perception of general QoL were self-rated physical and mental health as well as SOC. The HRQL of persons who have survived a median of 14 years with HL is similar to that of controls.
