Factorial structure and validity of the Multicultural Quality of Life Index.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo study the internal structure and the convergent and divergent validity of the Multicultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI) in a Spanish sample.
methodsThe MQLI, along with another quality of life instrument--the World Health Organization Quality of Life, brief version (WHOQOL-BREF)--and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), was administered to 356 students, 159 people from the general population and 65 psychiatric patients.
resultsThe value of Cronbach's a was .90. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for both the one- and two-factor structures. The overall mean score of the MQLI correlated between .61 and .78 with the domains of the WHOQOL-BREF and between -.55 and -.70 with the DASS-21 scales.
conclusionsThe MQLI has high internal consistency, can be interpreted in terms of a single factor, and has an adequate convergent validity, although its absolute correlations with depression and with the WHOQOL-BREF were equally high.
