Comparison of health-related quality of life measures for chronic renal failure: quality of well-being scale, short-form-6D, and the kidney disease quality of life instrument.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundStudies have found that health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measurements with different conceptual bases yield widely varying results within the same study sample. Using data from a cohort of patients with chronic kidney failure, the purpose of this study was to compare the Quality of Well-Being Scale-Self-Administered (QWB-SA), the Short-Form-6D (SF-6D), and the Kidney Disease Component Summary (KDCS).
methodsBaseline data from a multi-site prospective observational study of 322 veterans receiving hemodialysis were analyzed. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine how closely the three HRQOL tools reflected the same underlying construct.
resultsOur confirmatory factor analysis offered strong evidence that the subscales of the QWB-SA, SF-6D, and 7-subscale KDCS measured more than one factor in this study sample. In the three-factor model, the SF-6D and 7-subscale KDCS correlated .911 (P < .05), indicating 83% of the variance in the 7-subscale KDCS was correlated with the SF-6D. However, a two-factor model, in which the highly correlated SF-6D and 7-subscale KDCS were combined, fit the data almost as well as the three-factor model.
conclusionThe three HRQOL measures addressed different underlying HRQOL constructs in this sample. The QWB-SA was significantly different from the SF-6D and KDCS.
